I don't get why everything has to be so polarized these days. Just because you are for something doesn't mean you have to hate something else.
I'll admit that I'm a huge Prohm fan, and I wouldn't trade him for Fred as a coach. However, that opinion is not because Fred isn't a good coach or didn't help our program.
Rather, it's because Prohm is an amazing coach, an amazing human, an amazing role model / father figure to his players AND his long term end game is to be a legendary college coach, which I think he is figuring out that he can accomplish right here at ISU.
Despite my fierce loyalty to Prohm, I think its great for Fred to be back in Ames talking to the team. Remember, he was the coach of the Show in town for three of our young stars, such that there is an additional wow factor for them. Showing that he still cares about this program even after being in the Show says a lot about the value of this program.
Not to mention, he probably learned some things while coaching in the greatest basketball league in the world. So, he probably can provide some good insights that will help our program. What's not to like?
OK, old man rant over.
