Yeah who knows. I’d love to see that style at ISU though. I think most people would.

Even kids would understand what the message is. Not everyone is jsb hypersensitive. He’s defending them as much as criticizing, pointing out the disadvantage compared to other seasons they’ve had to deal with.
But you’re right on the Prohm comment. Even the worst coaches can generally give you good sound bites after the fact. McD was excellent at covering in detail what he would have done differently in hindsight.
We could do worse than the MWC COY and Craig Smith who is a rising star. GO watch an interview with Smith and tell me who he reminds you of.
Once again, would TJ even be mentioned without ISU ties? Then why are we bothering? And complaining about Smith? Really? Did you watch last night's game? Tied at half, win by 20. Coaching.
May the best candidate win if Prohm is let go. It’s a crucial hire.
Look you haven’t made an actual argument about why he’s bad. Your entire argument is other people think he’s bad. I’ve said it multiple times those people are absolute morons. We are talking about a school that fired Marvin Menzies as he was building them back up. Yeah Chris Beard was a better coach but you don’t fire a good coach to get another good coach.
UNLV hasn’t made the tournament in 8 years now. They have no justification for being an immediate top 25 team. We want to be a top 25 team but whoever the coach is I don’t expect that for at least two or three years because of where we are at. While basketball is a quicker rebuild then football it almost always takes a couple of years to get going.
Prohm had a good first two years but it was a don’t break it situation. UNLV is very much not that situation.
2012 - Royce White and Chris Allen. Tyrese McGee was the #7 JUCO. Babb and Ejim were top 200
“Those people don’t know my friend!” “I know UNLV and the MWC better!”
You haven’t explained why your contrarian view, with less info, is the accurate one. The criticism isn’t because they’re not top 25, it’s because the product on the court isn’t often well coached
You haven’t yet explained why TJ isn’t a not good coach with good inherited teams, rather than a good coach with a bad team.
Look at his team’s metrics. Even at SDSU he had awful defenses. Did brookings SD have Covid then?
The only thing you’ve used is the false authority fallacy
Be honest....You’re punking us with this post right?
If you could tell me right now that bringing in TJ gets us this guy, Hunter, and Nunn, plus we'd retain Foster, I'd probably get a bit excited. Obviously this is a big if, but it's not crazy? Kaluma's a teammate of Nunn and his head coach is leaving to go coach him..
Kaluma is the #42 player in the nation and #11 as a PF. He's incredibly skilled too. The kid has offers from ASU, Arkansas, Kansas, OU, Syracuse, A&M and USC.
Again, obviously this is hypothetical and it's not a guarantee that he'd come with TJ. All I'm saying is that if he would, I'd be less against the hiring of TJ.
Mike Boyton wasn't in demand at all and he's done just fine. Greg McDermott wasn't in demand when Creighton hired him from Iowa State and he's had sustained success for a decade+. To say that TJ would or wouldn't have success here because of two years at UNLV is silly. He recruited very well here for almost 10 years, he had success at SDSU, to say he'd be garbage at Iowa State is literally impossible to know. Which is why when you and others continue to say it, I call out the BS. But feel free to keep disliking or dumbing my posts.
Give me TJ 1,000x over Niko Medved. Seriously, go look up his coaching resume....it sucks.

I know there are some saying he’d be garbage and you are right, they don’t know that.
But it is absolutely fair to say that TJ isn’t some great and inspired choice.
It doesn't suck. He built Furman up before left. Had a decent year at Drake then took over a horrible situation at Colorado State and has built them up into a tournament team.
They are both not p5 worthy. Pass on both.
Anybody know how TJ gets along with players who haven't had the most privileged upbringing?
If he is hired I just hope he doesn't try to turn all of them into choir boys, send them to "wellness" retreats because of their choice of relaxation methods, then play them 2 minutes a game when they've paid thier dues.
If he can be more like Hoiberg in those regards I'm all for him.
