Good article from Hines

Shayok also played in the slowest system in college basketball. Not the case with Nixon.
He shoots way too much for his terrible percentage.
if the staff made changes to the offense would more than 3 people in this site be able to tell?

I don't think we should shoot any of the players.
Yeah the defensive talk is just that.
Being good at one thing is better than occasionally being good at other things.
Not sure what is going on with Bolton but his shot but it doesn't look right at all.
I understand what you are saying. But %33 is %33 whether it's 1-3 or 3-9. That is what Nixon's and Shayok's % was before they transferred. I can't promise you that somehow a light will come on and Nixon will become Shayok. But I can promise you no one knew Shayok was going to be what he was based on exactly what you said about systems outside of maybe Prohm. And that is why he recruited him.....same with Nixon. Hopefully it gets better.
Lol, where did I say I want him to berate or abuse players? Fran rarely does it anyways, its just when he does he makes a complete fool of himself so everyone remembers it. I just want him to hold players accountable when they play poorly.
Whats wrong with pulling a guy aside, explaining where he went wrong, and telling them they're benched until they can do what is asked of them? The article says hes getting on their ass about not rebounding in practice. We continually get abused on the boards in games, and rebounding is all about effort not size. Why not pull guys and tell them if they cant block out or give some effort after loose balls that you will play somebody that can?
Most of the time he just stands there with his arms crossed when things are going south.
Reminds me a touch of Naz. Wouldn't be entirely surprised if he was nursing an injury.
Take a look some time at the demographics sitting close to the court back then vs. now too though.
how do you know he isn’t doing that? Do you sit next to his wife in the stands?
since he doesn’t berate his players unless you are constantly right next to him you have no idea what goes on.
also, he’s been pretty clear that guys like Zion don’t always play the way they are supposed to and he sits them.
Who do you put in in the mean time during these teachable moments?
You need to do a much better job of disguising your trolling. Maybe go practice on Hawkeye Nation or something.
I’m guessing part of it is from lacking confidence. It would be hard not to at this point.
So basically be opposite of Fred when he just stood there as we were playing ole defense
Prohm doesn't just sit there and twiddle his thumbs.. he also doesn't come completely unglued. He's in the middle as far as his temperament goes.
Prohm has assistants for a reason. During the game is not time for head coaches to sit a kid down and fully explain what they are suppose to be doing. If the kid is screwing up, they get taken out and the assistants do the explaining. Prohm's job is to coach on the fly and make in-game adjustments, which I think he does need to get better at. The time that Coach Prohm gets on his players is at practice and in the locker room at halftime, which is where all of that should be happening.
You're wrong. Nixon had three full years of putrid shooting to allow for a conclusion. Shayok had one bad shooting season at Virginia that you're choosing to cherry pick. The prior two seasons he was 38 and 43.6% three-point shooter, combining to go 36-89.
Nixon was brought to Ames to strengthen Chicagoland connections and because we had open scholarships to fill and had whiffed on better transfers.
Don't claim to know things you know nothing about.
There is literally a line in the article that he says “If you’re not getting it done defensively, you’ve got to come sit.”
