Honestly I don’t trust Pollard to hire the next coach, so fire Pollard too.

I remember that one. Downright ugly. Then the next year we lost to South Dakota State and almost lost to Houston Baptist. We’re back to being at that level or possibly even worse.
I also think if the wins don't happen at home, ticket sales go away, small crowds, etc, that could also accelerate it
Some things we need to do if we are going to win games.
1. Bolton needs to learn to drive in crowds and not get stripped so much.
2. Prentiss needs to know he can't shoot 3s unless they are wide open.
3. Play good D. Although our defense today wasn't that bad
4. Get some scorers on the floor to help get some much needed points.
5. Need haliburton not to have so many "off" games.
6. Tre needs to find his shot that we all know he has.

Down by 20 with five minutes left, I was hoping to see Grill in the game. I know Caleb hasn't done much, but we've see what Nixon brings to the table. With the game over, at least develop somebody that might help next year.
2. He should never shoot a 3 w more than 2 secs on the shot clock period. Only other shot he should take is a layup. Whats the ISU record for worst 3pt% for a minimum of like 50 attempts? Just atrocious. I cant even talk abt it anymore.
4. We dont have any other scorers. Thats the problem.
5. Teams know our offense is trash without Hali. They just take him out of the game and it turns into wet garbage. Its basically Bolton driving at that point, which is layup, turnover, or kickout for a missed 3. Which actually is an improvement compared to earlier in the season.
I think they have to play small w one big, but we only have about 2 guards that are ready for prime time. So thaaaats a problem. Hoping Tre develops quickly!
They arent winning many more games this year. Maybe 5 or 6.
Now is the winter of our discontent.
Nope, I think you have a problem with me explaining that people should try to put themselves in other people's shoes, maybe not depend on this team or school to provide your happiness and maybe, just maybe, look at how wonderful you are at everything you do before pointing fingers at others that are trying their best to make you happy (even though they may not have that ability at this point.) When anyone says these young men suck, then they lose any rights to those young men giving a crap about their needs. You don't crap on people like that. You can be honest with them (or others) without using terms like "sucks". Try to use facts to support your argument and let them speak for you. It's better than name calling and denigration and will get your point heard better.
OR I'm saying you aren't a real fan. I'm not, what I'm saying your not someone I would want to be a fan of mine or anyone I cared about, because you may be a real fan, but you're a pretty bad real fan.
I think your going to have more than a few options, just be patient.
I see that. I need 4, anyone have 4 1-5 rows up in the middle balcony that they want to move? I'm ready to move over and up the ante. I bought in in McDormat's 2nd season and it has all been worth it. I feel another move coming, move on out all you guys!
Bad take.
Pollard is one of the best assets ISU has.i hope he stays here for a long, long time.
And when you examine his hires, it's really hard to fault them. Prohm may be the worst looking one in hindsight, but that may not have been 'his' hire in the first place.
I'm done watching them for the season. It's too depressing to see how far Prohm has degenerated this program. He has no identity for the direction of this program. And it's doubtful Pollard will do anything about it at the end of the season because financially, it's too costly. We as fans may have to suffer through this season and next before realistically anything will be done. Maybe Prohm gets it turned around with next years squad...but are you really trusting that to actually happen with the way Prohm is coaching this year??
Some of you people need to step back from the cliff, because you are sounding like Iowa fans right now. ISU just went through the best 10 year span of basketball that we have ever had. We lost 80% of our scoring from last years team, and your right its ugly, but I will give Prohm one poor season.
We signed the best recruit in the state, we have good players, they just didn't forget how to play basketball. They just need time to develop.
Lets allow the year to play out and see where we are next year. If we are in the same shape, then its time to find a new coach. But I believe in Coach Prohm and more than willing to give him another year.

My frustration is being a one trick pony team, and the one trick is broken. Why can't we play two bigs and 3 guards? Jacobson becomes a whole different player when he is moved to the post. 3 guards (or even 2 guards) would cut down on bad outside shots taken. Haliburton is a premiere passer, give him two bigs to pass to. Basketball is a game of rhythm, finding your rhythm on offense, breaking the rhythm on defense. The fact that we keep going downhill every game is because we only have one trick, and it's broken. If you are 0-13 from the 3 point line, and most of your points came from the paint try something else. Once the rhythm changes the threes will start falling.
The fact that we just came off the best 10 year stretch is the point - this program was at a high level when Prohm took it over and look where we are right now. Also, 2 of the last 3 years are going to be atrocious, with the other year being a 9-9 season with a mis-managed roster that was loaded with talent, so it isn’t just “one poor season” like you say.
I like Prohm and wish it was working out and he was the guy, but it’s just not, and the sooner we hit the reset button the sooner we can right the ship.
