TBH the results that roster wasn't that good. Jake Anderson was a starter and Calvin Godfrey saw a lot of minutes. It also had the one and only Jordan Railey.
Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

Yeah I’m not blaming anyone for their first year coaching. I was just trying to disprove that person’s theory that Lutz was somehow the reason why Hoiberg was good. They obviously didn’t realize Lutz wasn’t on ISU’s staff during the good Hoiberg years so they decided to try and make TJ the one who was the reason why Fred did well.
im not anti jp but i am anti tj
if jp hires tj on just pure relationship and that theyre best buds, then i may be a little more anti jp than previously but would still like him.
Looking up UNLV's kenpom info. Man, you can take the offensive and defensive rankings and flip them, and they are spot on ours. Yikes.
Also looks like his team only had one Senior but enough juniors where those numbers are a little alarming. Looks like the past 5 games he was playing younger guys though.

It doesn't look like TJ will be an upgrade but still many want him because he has ISU ties.
So he’s like nearly all successful head coaches.
Self wasn’t stealing TJ of Lutz action. Fred brought small-ball and pace and space. Fred hired good assistants, but he wasn’t a figurehead.
A lot of coaches like us, but TJ likes likes us
Hoiberg gives TJ lots of credit. From 2015.

Fred’s problem is still not enough talent in Lincoln at the moment. He doesn’t have an Xs and Os issue. People seem to not understand his talent situation that he walked into was worse now than it was in 2010 in Ames. He currently has a good incoming class next year.
I’ve always been a pro Pollard guy, but if he immediately hires TJ, it’s going to change my perception of him a bit.
Fred has learned it’s impossible to win and recruit worth a damn in Lincoln, so it would make sense he wants out. And obviously he knows there’s going to be an opening at Iowa State where he knows he can win and recruit well to.
I think he will be an upgrade but I am not totally sold on him being able to get us in the top half of the conference. Just about anyone will be an upgrade from 0-18
I don’t know what point you’re trying to make here.. I’m not saying TJ is bad nor am I saying that TJ did not help Fred in a variety of ways. I’m simply saying that Fred is in a fact a fantastic X’s and O’s coach.Hoiberg gives TJ lots of credit. From 2015.

High school and college coaches would travel all over the United States to listen to Fred talk about his scheme offensively.
Fred’s lack of success in the NBA and Nebraska has nothing to do with his X’s and O’s, rather has entirely to do with the fact that he was not able to play his style at the Bulls and he’s not yet been able to put together a full roster at Nebraska.
Exactly this. I was watching the first half of their game against Iowa, and Fred's guys shot the ball like they had never picked up a ball before in their life, but they knew exactly what to do and create the open shot. Aside from hilariously bad shooting, they were setting up for good shots, and the offensive flow was a thing of beauty (granted we haven't watched any sort of offensive flow in the last several years). Their talent is just too hot garbage to win.
According to the Register if Prohm is fired this year his buy out is $8M. How much will that go down if we wait a year?
Down to $6M? If that is the case it does not seem like much difference.

I would love to see someone young from the last decade of ISU basketball (such as Naz Long) join the next staff.
For example, bring back Fred and let him groom Naz to be a future successor if he does jump back to the NBA like some on here suggest he will.

He currently has a nice incoming class for next year at Nebraska. He can recruit there. We’d be lucky to have him back in Ames though.
I think the failure in this line of thinking is it assumes that JP didn't pursue other options and only went with TJ because he likes him. That is making a huge assumption that I know is wrong. He may end up going with him, but it won't because of a lack of looking.
