I think people are moreso pissed that they aren't seeing coaching changes from Prohm. There's a difference between understanding limitations of players vs adjustments. It appears Prohm isn't putting players in positions to be successful and that is by far the most frustrating thing.
I had a fraternity brother in college who went an entire year off of all social media platforms. Said it completely changed his life for the better.
This is who I think of every time I read your posts
Am I still being "holier than thou"?
you definitely think very highly of yourself. So maybe you should answer that question for the rest of us.
But that goes back to a lack of understanding of what is actually happening. There’s a lot more that goes in to coaching decisions that we don’t see. We only see the games, we don’t know what happens in practice, what happens in film, or even who might be carrying an injury that needs to be managed. If a fan truly thinks they can out coach Prohm (or even a girls HS BBall Coach) based on what they see for four hours a week vs living it day in and day out then they are delusional.
I agree with you 100% but you have to remember Prohm is coaching for his job. His job is to make the young men good representatives of the University and get Ws. He is doing one of those things. I get that practice is important, but some players are gamers. When it comes down to it, his job comes down to those 4 hours a week. If a casual fan can see the flaws in the piece that dictates his job security, he should see it as well and make changes accordingly.
Derp.
This is not hard to understand.
CloneFan4 is on record as referring to posters who have an insufficient hatred of Steve Prohm as being "morons", and then accuses others of being "holier than thou". When called out on his or hypocrisy, they doubled down on it instead of engaging in any sort of reflection on how ridiculous he or she make themselves look.
It's interesting; hard times for the basketball team really do seem to bring the dumb out on this board.
He’s not on a game by game contract. I’ve never been on a team where one or multiple top players are just “gamers” and don’t show it in practice and I bet that observation is even more stark at the D1 CBB level.
There’s also a difference between you thinking what you see is accurate and it actually being accurate. I think everyday fans would be surprised and overwhelmed at the level of detail and the attention to that detail that even a NAIA coach has to deal with. We don’t know any of the details.
You are once again completely misconstruing my post to justify your defense of Prohm. I have never once stated that I hate the man or that others should hate him. At this point in his time here, if you think he is the right man for the job, you are a moron. That is what the post you are referring to said and has nothing to do with hating Prohm or encouraging others to hate the man.
Dude, if you honestly cannot understand the hypocrisy of calling people "morons" while simultaneously complaining about others behaving in a "holier than thou" fashion than you are beyond help.
I don't know how old you are; you may or may not be younger or older than I am. But whatever your age is...Grow. Up.
Chip I respect you as a poster despite the fact we may differ on our opinions. But in the last week you have become more like Cat. The personal insults aren’t needed and quite frankly it takes away from some of the points you are trying to make.
Coming from the guy who has been compared to @Cat Stevens I will especially take this to heart. Thank you for your guiding light
I think that is any profession. A doctor has do to things correctly to keep people alive, an attorney to keep their client out of trouble, ect.
When I see a coach fail, I see a coach with a lack of attention to detail. You have to have the ability to self reflect constantly to put yourself in the best situations. That is my personal opinion.
You’re in a bubble if you think most of the bashing happens here, from like a half dozen people or whatever.
In my opinion it is as simple as this. Iowa state fans are as passionate as a fanbase can get. That's a good thing when we are rolling and taking over bowl venues and the power and light district. When things are going horribly it can obviously be a bad thing. Would the teams rather we didn't give a sh!t and just stopped caring or going when we were playing like crap?
Nailed it! Look at some of the programs around the country that envy what we have. People, including myself, are upset because we care, not because we we hate staff or players.
Speak for yourself, I hate the waterboy on the fb team. He is such a jerk.
