Question -- what was the "uniform dispute?"
I once stole the ball from the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan.
This is based upon the transitive property of basketball (i.e. I once stole the ball from Terry Woods who stole the ball from Danny Manning who stole the ball from Michael Jordan).

Gunner wanted Hornacek-length shorts, but the coach said no
Okay so this was during the fab 5 heyday. Our shorts weren’t bad, they weren’t Arkansas but they weren’t Horny’s either. The dispute was over not being able to wear black socks. Dumbest crap ever right? What a fascist **** coach that guy was. The bad part was that i had to have him as a teacher later in HS and he was always a ********** to me!
Throwing my hat in the ring, here at my stats:
- 6'-0"
- 215 lbs
- 37 years old.
- Ambidextrous, but can't shoot with either hand.
- Asthmatic.
- Deceptively athletic.
- Scored a grand total of 14 points during 8th grade basketball season.
- High school intramural team only won 1 game, against the team of all girls, and only won that by 3 points.
- Got a technical foul and thrown out of intramural game while at ISU.
- Claim to fame was having a kid at the Lied say if he ever guarded a guy with an ISU cross country shirt on again, he wanted his friends to shoot him (I had the t-shirt on).
That’s the kind of basketball skill that coaches just can’t teach. You’re either born with it or you don’t have it. **** talking is the art of the game.
Well, it would be very involved getting you qualified to play for the men's team!!
Everyone is avoiding academic eligibility.
I may or may not have been ineligible spring quarter of my freshman year. Prohm would have been sitting 18 year old Boxster because of his lackadaisical approach to class. Sophomore Boxster corrected that.
Is that why your avatar has you in or on "the doghouse"?

I did that in 2016. My offseason training regimen of nothing and nutrition plan of beer and sweets did not lead to me being ready for actual physical activity. At first I was afraid I was going to die, then I was afraid I wasn't. During the 5 on 5 fathers and sons game I somehow ended up guarding the guy on the other team that appeared to be in the best physical condition of anyone at the camp. This was confirmed when the evening session ended and the dude started running laps around the Lied for extra exercise while everybody else ate pizza.
That was my last father son camp and he will attend shooting camps going forward.
I just read about the first 20 posts and it made me laugh several times. Not sure where the thread went from there, but funny start!
Seriously though: you would think Prohm could find two more decent bodies to fill the team this year and help with practice, drills, etc. Agree that there are undoubtedly D-III and D-II players at ISU. There were several like that at my time at ISU.
