Absolutely not! The manner in which Fred left ISU was one in which he clearly did not close out his job in a professional manner (by waiting until after the season to begin interviewing for other jobs) when we had a team that most everyone had as one of the Final Four. I was at the UAB game and what I saw going on during the game on the iSU bench (Fred not acting as if he had his mind on the game, BDJ acting like a child with a bad case of ADD, etc.) gave me the feeling that Fred's mind was about as far away from functioning as head coach for our team as it could be. We now know that he had already interviewed with 3 different NBA teams, so he was clearly putting his personal interests above that of the team and did not close out. People who do those type of things tend to repeat them so I would not want to go thru that again. Sanderson and Hoiberg are more than enough for our program.
I don't have to re-read your post. You said he hasn't accomplished half of what Fred did in 5 years. Of course not, he's only been here a year. It's impossible to go to the NCAA tournament 4 times in one year, unless you're a wizard or something....so I guess if your criticism of Prohm is that he's not a wizard, that's valid. I don't agree with it, I have no expectation that our basketball coach be able to accomplish things outside the space-time continuum, but if that's a requirement for you, that's a valid beef, I suppose.

1. Hoiberg wouldn't do that to ISU, Pollard, or Prohm. He has enough class to avoid situations like that.
2. I think Hoiberg turns it around next year and succeeds. The guy has always had success.
3. Prohm hasn't even been employed for a year yet. Everyone knows this year will be his real test.
4. Just no.

Yeah, it doesn't really make sense to me. Because if he hated recruiting here where he was a god and could do no wrong, why would he want to do it someplace else?
Prohm is a better coach than Fred. Fred might be the better recruiter.... that's yet to be determined IMO. Fred was able to land some good transfers, but IMO Prohm will do better with high school recruits.
So all in all, I'd probably prefer Prohm at this point over Fred. How would Fred have handled the McKay situation this season? IMO, he would have done nothing and it would have festered and become a huge team chemistry issue by the time postseason rolled around, ala BDJ. Prohm fixed the problem, and ended up taking us to the sweet sixteen. Fred didn't handle BDJ correctly, and we got embarrassed by a bad UAB team in the first round.
But I still think it's a stupid thread that should probably have been deleted.

Of course, aioli is a whole other option. Aioli kicks all kinds of mayo ***. My ranking:

If people don't think Fred wanted out of here, he was interested in leaving ISU for the Gophers for crying out loud. He didn't like it here and wanted out. People may not like to hear it, but it's the truth. It wasn't just the NBA dream that made him leave.... he was looking into other college jobs too.
