No, Cat is convinced that people hate him all-around because he is not Fred Hoiberg.Nobody hates Prohm as a person.

Wete stuck with him for at least 1, probably 2 more years. JP is not going to can him in the middle of a crisis, and i honestly think this buys him at least one more year after this.
And yes, I do agree with you in your second line.
