Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?
- Thread starter Gunnerclone
- Start date
I think it’s not exactly straight merit when it comes to Fred. Fred’s jersey is in the rafters despite not being POY in an 8 team league in a year there were co-POY. Yet plenty of people don’t think Ejim should, who was POY in a 12 team league that was best in the country.
But while some of that exists, there also seems to be some jilted lover bias against Fred that people will probably have forever.
Interesting to note that the buyout for Hoiberg at Nebraska to leave for the NBA is far lower than the buyout if Hoiberg goes to another D-1 program. Fred wants back in the NBA it appears. Otherwise why would the buyout be so much less.
Just last night I was trying to remember who the poster was that freaked out about basketball all the time while also calling everyone Emo. That would be finalfourcy
This is totally about Prohm. When you have a year where you don't win ANY games in conference...you'll think back to the better times to cope with the hurt. That's just a human trait. If Prohm was winning, we wouldn't be having these conversations.
Oh ****! A coach that wants to coach and win at the highest level? Definitely don’t want that kind of attitude permeating our program.
I was talking about a specific post, obviously the coaching discussion is about Prohm and his absolute failure.
So this thread has reached the point where we are arguing if Melvin Ejim was a better player than Fred
Same reason most of the names come up. People want to pick their favorite for the next coach but their knowledge of potential coaching candidates is pretty limited.
With some of the names being discussed we might as well start discussing Phil Jackson because he’s about as likely.
As I have repeatedly said, it should be a non-starter if a potential coach wants a very low NBA buyout.
It’ll end after Prohm because Fred will be our coach.
But the Fred will be coaching under the shadow of Fred.
(I typed that as a joke but after I did realized for some not even Fred will be able to shine through the shadow of Fred)
Different buyouts for each. Shows Fred wants to leave D-1 for NBA. Fred has no NBA opportunities. Why didn’t Fred negotiate a smaller buyout for ISU like he did the NBA?
I've never had any bad blood toward Fred and I don't fault him for taking the Bulls job or moving on to Nebraska after the Bulls let him go. That being said, I'm not overly excited about the thought of him coming back.
I haven't done the research to know for sure, but I'm guessing many coaches have a lower nba buyout than D-1. Likely because ADs are trying to keep other D-1 schools from poaching their coach.
For non blue bloods the model is getting older, having 4 year players that get to play with each other for most of their tenure. Maybe adding in a highly regarded transfer here or there. This requires development of the players and a coach that is good with X's and O's.
The day that Royce White stopped playing for Tubby Smith and chose to play for Hoiberg instead of Calipari was the day that I became convinced that Fred was not as sqeaky clean as we would like to believe.
You show great commitment to the bit
