If true then **** Leath. He couldn’t keep his nose out of Auburn athletics and thats what got him fired there. They did the right thing or Leath I’m sure would have destroyed Auburn football.
Sign of a good Coach

No, Texas Tech’s a basketball powerhouse...oh wait.
Is anyone else tired of the “well historically, Iowa State only makes the tournament 50% of the time so that’s what we should expect” mentality?
When you have a good coach like Beard, Drew, and others - history doesn’t mean ****.
It’s the same that if it were up to them we would still have Paul Rhoads because we can’t expect better and can’t get better.
Pollard and Manchow traveled to SDSU to be there for TJ’s first home game as a head coach. To me, that says a lot about how JP regards TJ.
That is true and I hope you’re right. But yet Pollard gave SP an extension last year, and yesterday went on Twitter to defend SP and call out ISU fans. That worries me that Pollard is all in on SP.
Solo getting a good amount of looks tells me there was some kind of coaching going on.. a good coach probably would have had getting it to him a priority from day one. It shouldn’t of taken Haliburton getting injured to look for other offensive options. Or a lineup that might be competitive. Bane is going to make short work of our tiny guards tonight.
Threads like this make me sick...
Let's list the top 8 players to play in Saturday's game.
1. Jahmi'us Ramsey TTU
2. Davide Moretti TTU
3. Terrence Shannon TTU
4. Solomon Young ISU
5. Kyler Edwards TTU
6. TJ Holyfield TTU
7. Chris Clarke TTU
8. Rasir Bolton ISU
I know it's not a great excuse, but ISU was not supposed to win this game. It was not supposed to be close. Tech has WAY more talent than we do. It's not even close.
We were in the game for 10 minutes; we were actually up 18 - 17. When our bench came in, WOOF. I don't understand the hype for Terrence Lewis. I don't. He's passable on offense, but his effort and unawareness of defense renders him UNPLAYABLE. Once he and a few other bench players got it, the points began to pile on and there was no hope of a comeback.
I believe Prohm is a good coach, he has made a lot of mistakes in the past, but he has shown progress and ability to change. THAT'S HUGE.
Think about this....
This forum was going NUTS over a recruit last year. He was our top target in the spring and every one thought we needed him. He would have been our prized recruit over Tre Jackson and ISU may not have even gone after Grill if he committed.
That recruit is Clarence Nadolny. He played 5 mins in garbage time on Saturday and he rarely plays critical minutes for TTU.
ISU starts Tre Jackson, a guy ISU fans believed to be lesser than Nadolny, and we rely on him for production and to win games. Some of our starters are lesser than the end of TTU's bench.
This won't be the case next year. We will probably go 8-10/9-9 next year, but that's called growth.
ISU will grow and I believe in Prohm.

Boy, I think you are wrong. I'm rooting for you though.
You were expecting a 30 point loss? Isn't that an indictment on the state of the basketball program?
I expected a double digit loss. With Haliburton out, I expected big losses from the teams in the top half of the conference.
I kinda view all double digit losses the same. Everything goes wrong and there is a lack of effort whether it's a 12 point loss or a 30 point loss.
Am I ok with it? no. However, this game would probably have a smaller margin of defeat with Haliburton.
Next year is the make or break year for Prohm. He needs to finish above 8-10 and showing convincing growth in the program in order to keep his job.
Prohm is responsible for the players he brings into the program, is he not? Isn't what you've described really just the root of the problem? We are completely out-talented on a nightly basis?
I guess I just don't get treating Prohm like he's been conscripted with this roster. These are the guys he chose to have on his team.
I just don't get how "hey, there is an enormous talent void" can be used as an argument in favor of Prohm.
Really lost me here. I don't think 12 necessarily means everything went wrong or there was a lack of effort (not specific to the TTU game). If Saturday was 12 instead of 30, I know silver linings are useless but that's easier to swallow than getting dominated by 30. Sad part is the outcome didn't really surprise or shock me.
Because there were 2 guys last year who should have been on this year's roster in Wiggs and THT. You add just 1 of those and we're a top division B12 team with a great (gawd I hope so) recruiting class coming in.
I like Steve but if that is a real quote it pisses me off royally. Where is Ejim? We need to hire him as a practice consultant.
