Good article from Hines on Prohm's background

I came across this article today online and thought it was worth sharing.

My apologies if it's already been linked.

TIL there are drive-through daiquiri stores.

I had to research....

What's with the lame 'no cursing' rule?

 

[cykocy]

I agree. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. This isn't high school basketball.....

I would rather have a "no-cursing rule" rather than a Bobby Knight culture on the two extremes of the spectrum, however I think its probably a respect thing and I wonder how strongly he enforces it

I don't know that this is a bad thing. Developing young men is still a nice thing to do if you can. Seems like requiring them to not swear during the 40-50 hours per week when they're playing/practicing basketball is something that can help prepare them for life after basketball in the workforce.

It's not like Prohm is going to follow them around in their apartments or dorms to make sure they never curse.

If they slip up, they are probably running some wind sprints so it's not like he's going to boot them for language.

You can still be a player's coach and mix in some discipline and high expectations.

What the hell does cursing have to do with developing them for life after college? So if I curse it means I am not disciplined? They are just ******* words.
And these kids listen to ******* rap music. Now they can listen to it but have to use their ******* headphones ? what's the difference?
I just think it's kind of ******* annoying. I can guarantee you that if any play professionally there will be an abundance of cursing on the ******* court and in the god damn locker room. It's just ******* stupid *** pleasantville 1940s ********.

Look you play for the Yankees you have to shave and get a hair cut. Prohm takes cursing a way. Maybe it adds nothing, but I bet it adds self discipline, and team discipline. My grandmother would tell them that they will have a better vocabulary, because cursing is just taking the easy way out of saying what you mean.

Although I would argue at times there is not replacement for a good curse.

Calm down.

That was just a joke

Coach Prohm

JK!

 

[JRE1975]

I am sure the OU coach might also implement a no curing rule so that the curse words don't slip out during a game and turn around the momentum for an opponent in a big game so they can come back from 20 points down.

The more I read about Coach Prohm the more I like the guy. The article explains a lot about my first impression of him as a very humble man, thankful for the opportunity he has been given.

Talk about a four letter word that ill always remember in a game and why. That as well as the constant floor slaps as ISU waltzed its way to easy bucket after easy bucket once they got on a roll. :twitcy::twitcy:
