We are isolating Niang on the wing/in the post way more than last season. It's basically our entire offense. He was more of a point forward last season, where he would bring the ball up occasionally and initiate the offense from the top. Now Monte is bringing the ball up every possession.
He runs a better zone defense that much seems to be true so far.
I thought it meant that there was probably a lot of screwing around and horseplay at practice, but players would at least have to show up. I guess I thought wrong...The McKay stuff here wasn't a problem last year with the fanbase; what'd y'all think "Fred runs practices pretty loose" meant?
Fred Hoiberg & Wayne Morgan > Steve Prohm & Greg McDoormat
If it takes the "inmates running the asylum" to play exciting winning post season making teams I don't care what you say that is the way to go...you all know the old adage that winning is 90% talent and 10% coaching. Good thing Prohm's contract is cheap but I'm not sure that the curmudgeons here can handle the right type of coach to win in today's college basketball. This isn't freaking Hoosiers anymore fellas.
wait so now it's on the wing and in the post?
Also, thanks a lot for leaving us such a "great" team Fred. He knew he was leaving a huge mess for the next guy. What a joke. Hoiberg can stay in Chicago, even after he gets fired.
On the wing equates to Niang backing his guy down into the post. They're similar, it's just a matter of how far he gets pushed out.
I don't see your point. You really don't think he's being used differently? There's a reason his field goal percentage has gone up. He's making more hooks and relying less on driving.
<facepalm> Prohm starts using a zone midway through a season with a bunch of seniors who have never played it, Preach on, brother.
If you never had Fred then you never would have had Georges. Think about that for a minute you stupid *****
Didn't McKay get suspended for practice related issues? I think this is well beyond "an anonymous rumor based on hearsay".
Haha, that's hilarious. You remember his zone in his last year? Even before that we would get out rebounded worse than now.He runs a better zone defense that much seems to be true so far.
It is sickening how many people are killing Prohm for this season and writing off the future. I'm ashamed of our fan base right now. Our best team ever (2000) came from a coach who was a complete hard-*** but got his guys to play like warriors. I think Steve has a chance to be in-between Fred and Larry and both styles can win.
Starting to wonder if Fred let the inmates run the asylum because look at the train wreck Royce White became after he left ISU. You can probably keep egos and attitudes more in check by letting them do as they please instead of enforcing rules which keeps them happy even if it means they aren't being held to the same standards as everyone else is. It's a different situation in the NBA now when you have players that are making more than the coach is, the players are definitely the ones in charge when you look at how often NBA coaches are fired.
McKay being allowed to not practice and be babied could have also let to BDJ's outbursts. Afterall BDJ practiced and was replaced in the starting lineup by someone who was allowed not to practice. I know If I were in BDJ's shoes and that happened I would be ******.
