This is why Prohm must go........

So you really think going 7-23 in the regular season and then winning 4 games in Kansas City would be a success? Wow.
The program is in a completely different world now. How we grade Orr’s teams and how we grade these teams is completely different.
Each season has its own grading criteria. A worse end result can get a better grade than a better result.
If we turned that into a Sweet 16, it would still be a terrible season for us.

Apparently I needed jimlad.

It would be pretty damn funny to see, though. Legendary postseason run by a single-digit win team.
This kind of feels like the narrative that ISU was 'elite' during the Hoiberg years when they were really just a decent top 20ish team.
I don't think anyone is saying that last years team was a failure, but rather they underachieved. Though nothing is guaranteed, the Big 12 title was for the taking and we wet the bed. We all can agree that last years team was better than a 5th place finish in conference play.
I definitely think we should've done better than 5th, but I think it would've been a stretch to say we should've won the conference outright. When K-State was fully healthy they were very very good, and Tech damn near won the National Title last year. We should've been a 3rd/4th place team last year.
But the poster I've gone back and forth with on this at the very least supports the thought that Prohm should have been fired after a 23-win season, which indicates that at least he thought last season was a failure.
As for our conference finish, I agree that we lost 2-3 games we shouldn't have, which would have put us at 11-7 or maybe 12-6. It's an amazing feat to win the conference title in the regular season, but again, that's something we've only done twice in the existence of the Big 12. Not doing it last season does not equate to a "failed" season at all.
Using his "comeback" after finishing last place (which he was responsible for), is something really special...
Right. Because 25+ wins per season and Big 12 regular season championships need to be the minimal demands we expect of our program, especially since we've won a whole 2 of those since the turn of the century, and if a coach can't meet those reasonable demands, let's just keep on firing them until we find our savior.
Honestly, might as well just become a Duke or Kentucky fan if you're going to be unhappy with anything less.
Steve Prohm thought process
Call timeout after you score
Give up a 8-0 run as your team is getting sloppy
Don't call timeout because you only have one left because you're a dumbass who calls timeouts after you score
Allow 6 more easy points off sloppy play
Call timeout after a 14-0 run in 3 minutes
Get an extension
Dude is a ******* genius.

This program is going to require a complete rebuild when Prohm is finally gone.
he seems to have zero ability to coach offense. Perimeter dribble handoffs with horrible shooters with no change. It’s bad.
Someone win the Powerball tonight and pay to get rid of him
I don’t know how long Prohm will be here. Probably at least 2 more years. More if he grows as a coach or brings in elite talent.
But, right now, it feels over.

So, like two players?
Get the right coach, and a rebuild is nothing in college basketball. Rosters change quickly, which is one issue Prohm has. You’ve got to be able to fill holes in the spring.
Would have helped if he hired a recruiter, his recruiting is rearing its ugly head! If next season's recruits
don't make a big difference he'll be looking elsewhere for a job! His coaching is in complete shambles! Jacobson has not got the team around him as he did last season and is struggling bad! Not much recruiting and not much coaching!
