*** Official IOWA STATE Vs West Virginia Game(Day) Thread ***

Wigginton smiling at the free throw line down 20, kind of bugged me.
He is clearly having more fun than me at the moment.

Apathy from the players?

never a great sign.

 

[CentexCyclone]

Just 3 more games left and we can start dreaming about football season again.

I am really pumped about our D-line in 2019! All 39 starts return on a D-line that gave up only 2.35 yards per rushing play (3rd in Big 12, 32nd in the nation). Check out this preview:

The blame gets placed at the feet of the players as well. Squarely.

They are his players

 

[awd4cy]

I'd be shocked if this team made a wide open 3

That’s true. But an 11-17 team is guarding us 100x better than we are them I’ll say.

 

[HoustonClone]

The guy gets payed about $80k per game so....

Just saying the blame is shared. That is all. Read my post.

 

[clone1990]

At least a few Prohm apologists are seeing the light.

I have not been on the fire Prohm wagon, but questioning coaching is one of the reasons we have this forum.

If anyone thinks this epic collapse has nothing to do with the coach you are delusional.

You know who you are.

 

[cyclone87]

Team is pretty screwed up. I still think Otz would have been a good fit here as someone that knows the culture of ISU hoops and has strong Midwest recruiting ties. Hopefully prohm turns things around next year though, this year seems destined to end in a bad way.

The blame gets placed at the feet of the players as well. Squarely.

Can we fire the players as well.

 

[xboxfever]

Lineup the second half should be:

Halliburton
Lewis
Conditt
Griffin
Babb

They are the only ones playing team ball out there and they should not come out until they are gassed or fouled out.

 

[Dryburn]

This team has sucked since Prohm let Fred talk to them.

 

[HoustonClone]

They are his players

Read my post. Did not exonerate him.

 

[IcSyU]

And defense was what Prohm was supposed to be good at...

Uh, that's revisionist history. His Murray State teams were actually worse defensively than Hoiberg's Iowa State teams.

We still have a damn good offense overall but the "defense" we play gives no team any chance to win.

 

[Gordilly]

Much better than that Hoiberg guy. At least Prohm coaches defense.

He may coach it, but I'm not seeing it

 

[moforisu]

I figured out our problem! This team only watches themselves and thinks this is how the game is supposed to be played. It's so bad not sure where you start fixing. Hope Pollard is watching because the donors are.

 

[WastedTalent]

Hope Pollard has his short list handy. Boyton is a better coach than Prohm.

His short list has one name on it... TJ

 

[madguy30]

Guy avg 5 points a game and scores 20 in the 1st half, seems right for this team.

When their habits are as poor as they are for this team in general, the door is open for any D1 basketball player to have a day.

 

[MTCyclone43]

Hate to say it, but I’m leaning more and more towards wanting to fire Prohm. Think it’d be great if we could hire Otz and get him back in Ames

They had the opportunity to hire Otz and passed on him to go with Prohm. Prohm was supposed to be the point guard whisperer. Does anyone see Nick as a point guard?

 

[Cyclonepride]

At this point, if we can find five that:

A. Know what they’re doing

B. Want to play

C. Like each other

Let’s just ride that lineup in the second half.

 

[Gerbs]

The blame gets placed at the feet of the players as well. Squarely.

What was everyone saying earlier this year? Look what happens when prohm gets his players in his system. Well it’s all his players now

 

[aeroclone]

Maybe it's time to step away if this stuff bothers you that much.

This doesn't bother you? What kind of fan isn't bothered by a collapse of this magnitude? We have gone from a title contender to getting repeatedly housed by league bottom feeders in the span of a month.
