Coach Steve Prohm stepping away from Murray St.

Wow 2-22 is astronomically better than 2-25. Guess he should have kept his job?
Hoiberg has to win tomorrow to make the Big 10 tournament. Not sure he’s doing “well” there. He’s 80-105 overall and 37-79 in Big 10 play. He’s Tim Miles in a slightly different package.
I agree on some of the Hoiberg thoughts. He’s an all time great Cyclone but it just felt like he and his family got to big time for their home town. Glad we got him when we did because it turns out he’s not a great coach.
Is there a reason to bash him? He was by all accounts a good guy. Can't we just wish him well without the negative crap?
Well, great is a very subjective term and I don't remember using it anyway, but they've been the class of the MVC for the last 5-6 years now.
To your other clueless point, the MVC is currently 11th and the OVC is ranked as the 26 best conference out of 31 so I'd say your statement about them being even is pretty dumb.
Belmont and Murray St were the class of the OVC and now they are both struggling in the MVC so that should add further evidence against your claims.
He's not a good head coach. Convince me otherwise
If only they had metrics to prove this. You can spin it anyway you want but at the end of the day it's a big step up in competition from the OVC.
If anything your point just proves even further that they can compete with Texas A&M and Mississippi State but then are a middling MVC program.
What are you even talking about? Where did I say he was a good coach? I couldn't stand the guy from the minute he was hired back in 2015.
Wtf are you talking about? You're the one defending him. Even if the MVC is better than the OVC it's still a mid-major.
I don't get the need to call him out. Baffles me.
I think people have the right to feel frustrated with Prohm. The guy took over a program that had a lot of momentum and drove it right off the cliff
Defending him? I don't care what happens to him. You said the OVC and the MVC were basically the same conference and I'm calling you out on that.
A metric to prove what, that he isn’t a good coach? I recommend starting with losses.
Nothing in my post alluded to the MVC not being better than the OVC
It pointed out that it’s a fallacy to significantly attribute his failure at Murray on going to the more difficult MVC
He has struggled in the non-conference, let alone the MVC, even going 3-9 in Year 2. He yet he has beaten A&M and this year the best of MVC, so his teams can play with better teams
That points to the issue of him being a bad head coach more than it does the fact they’re playing more difficult teams, but I acknowledge your insecurities on the MVC
It’s like when people here used the difficulty of the Big 12 or that he inherited issues from Hoiberg to justify his failures, meanwhile he’s losing home games to Milwaukee and Alabama A&M
He killed our own runs with his timeouts
I shouldn't even reply to this stupidity.
Because for too many it's personal. Many on this site, especially his close friends had TJ penciled in as the head coach when Fred left in 2015. There were some that campaigned for TJ after GMAC left in 2010. And when Prohm was given TJ's chair........they were not happy. And still can't let it go.
