The funniest part of JP’s video for me was when he basically said that Prohm told him it would take a long and complete rebuild to get this program back to respectability again. That’s hilarious if true, but obviously it isn’t.

There’s no way Prohm, or anyone, would admit they failed that horribly.

It’s not Otz. Sources close to the situation were monitoring a flight from Oklahoma City to Des Moines. Some have said that might be a sign that the head coach of OKC Thunder’s G League team and Marion, Iowa native Grant Gibbs, could have been en route to Ames.
It seems odd that you were the one that first brought up Gibbs, a guy that is out of left field, then inject him again with info about him in Ames.

You've been on these boards for a while now, so it's unlikely you are Grant Gibbs, or his agent, but maybe you're a relative??

Fwiw, I'd be thrilled to have Gibbs on staff.

I want to reiterate that absolutely nothing has been confirmed here. There is one story that was written and there's already another report out of Vegas with conflicting information. People have either retweeted the original story or regurgitated the same information, which is not the same as confirming. There is nothing confirmed at this point and to call anything official is disingenuous at best. When there is something to confirm, I can promise you we'll let you know. We're very much not there yet.
Anything confirmed yet? No? Then I will save my freakout until there is actually something to freakout about...

Unfortunately not a relative, or him, or his agent. We’ll just say I’m a big Iowa state fan with connections to the university.

Pollard is probably angry that it leaked. He will try to drag this out as long as possible so that he can act like he was conducting a real actual search, but we all know that was never the case.
Even if he was conducting a search we don’t want to believe him because we’re butthurt.

Would you be a fan of such hire?
Any interest in Gibbs isn’t as an assistant doesn’t seem likely. HC in the G league is close to a NBA assistant job
