    This looks like Cornell's work. Hopefully he is staying on staff.

    Prohm Hired As ISU MBB Head Coach

    It isn't so much about him keeping TJ on staff, but more about TJ wanting to stay as an assistant. He is looking for his best opportunity to be a head coach very soon. The only opening right now is Murray St. If he stays on at Iowa St next season and the fellas have quite a bit of success his...

    *** COACHING SEARCH THREAD: Thursday, June 4 ***

    Looked into some of the recruits Drew has signed for 15' and he reeled in Derrik Smits. Most basketball junkies will recognize the last name. He is the son of former Pacer great Rik Smits. If Drew was hired I think it would be hard to get him out of Indiana, but would be nice to add a 7...

    *** COACHING SEARCH THREAD: Thursday, June 4 ***

    I'll definitely get behind whoever they hire (although it will take some time to come around to the Otz possibility). Just like to discuss the current pool of coaches.

    *** COACHING SEARCH THREAD: Thursday, June 4 ***

    Prohm, to me, has the most potential. Is he the right guy for Iowa State? Who knows. But he played a key role in getting Sip Cannon (currently with the Houston Rockets) as the lead assistant and got a commitment from Cam Payne over Wichita St. Payne will likely be a top 20 pick in the...

    *** COACHING SEARCH THREAD: Thursday, June 4 ***

    Otz had interviews set for Wisconsin Green Bay and Northern Kentucky. Not even close to a P5 team and Prohm, Underwood and Drew have already proved themselves in similar places. I'm glad there is a thorough search being completed. Hearing Otz would already have the job if Pollard had his way...

    *** COACHING SEARCH THREAD: Thursday, June 4 ***

    Grinding it out on the court is going to be a thing of the past in 4 to 5 years. The NCAA is already making changes to speed up the game and give offenses a better chance (30 sec shot clock, larger restriction area, supposedly tighter whistles etc). Many people love the college atmosphere but...

    SOURCE: Hornacek declines meeting with Iowa State

    Coaching is so much more than just recruiting. Getting tired of the narrative that TJ brought in some big guns when he was here previously so it obviously means he will do it again.

    Keith Murpy Talks to Fred after Press Conference.

    In my opinion people are worrying too much about the future. It will all work itself out if we have another successful year in 15'-16'. Kids love playing time with a great chance to start, a loyal fan base and awesome practice facilities. We aren't setup as badly as everyone thinks for...

    *** COACHING SEARCH THREAD: Wednesday, June 3 ***

    I know Fred is coming back Friday and said he will likely have at least a discussion with Pollard about who takes over. I think whoever is in on that meeting needs to listen very closely. He definitely wants what is best for Iowa St and has likely spent some time thinking about who would work...

    *** COACHING SEARCH THREAD: Wednesday, June 3 ***

    Keith Murphy asked him yesterday if Pollard and Co. came to him about increasing his salary at Iowa St and Fred said he wouldn't let them do it.

    *** COACHING SEARCH THREAD: Wednesday, June 3 ***

    My question for the Otz is the guy camp is what kind of connections has he made to hire a veteran assistant that has head coaching experience? Fred has so many contacts in the game that he was able to get a guy like Bobby Lutz to come to Ames. Morton or Richardson are not going to step down...

    WILLIAMS: And the coaching search begins...

    Prohm is going to place two guys in the NBA at Murray St of all places. That should speak volumes about his ability to evaluate and coach up talent. Winning 24 straight anywhere at the d1 level is impressive, don't care where it is
