Otz KO'd the last unbeaten team

[motorcy90]

I’m glad some of you aren’t the AD here. 1 bad year and suddenly CSP is killing the program. All the other great stuff he’s done is meaningless. It’s crazy.

if the 39-47 record in Big12 play isn't enough evidence for you then I don't know what else would be.

Look at everything we’ve lost the past couple of years. Yes we’ve had some bad loses with our NBA lottery pick being out. I’m not happy with where things are at but we aren’t Duke or Kentucky. When we lose a bunch of guys we don’t always just reload. If next year is like this year then ok it might be time. But I think CSP deserves at least 1 more season here.

A winning team?

Hoiberg IS killing it at NU.

 

[SpokaneCY]

“other great stuff”. Clarify?

You mean won with another coaches guys? Not pull together a legit tournament team last year that went out on an L to Ohio State? Have two years of absolute trash basketball? The man can recruit, I’ll give him that. But he’s selling the fans and the atmosphere. Any coach can do that.

Top 25 road wins - most in program history? Players in professional ball? 14th recruiting class?

Losing sucks and having lost 3 top-level college/pro players in a matter of months is a beeeyatch.

Next year they should be ready to contend for an NCAA berth.

You are just a blind prohm defender.

that is not acceptable here on cyclone fanatic

UNLV is a better job than Iowa State. End of story.

 

[CTTB78]

You honestly believe the program would be in worse shape after five years under T.J. then it is today. T.J. would own the Midwest if Iowa State was a Top 20 squad. He would recruit circles around Prohm.

Recruiting is not Prohm's achilles. It's coaching.
Wins like yesterday for TJ will convince a lot of people that he can easily out coach Prohm.

Maybe a few decades ago when the Tark was sucking on towels.

It's still a better job than Iowa State. Always will be. Reality sucks sometimes. You won't find anyone outside of this fanbase who will tell you ISU is a better job than UNLV. You can recruit top notch talent to UNLV, they have history, and they have Vegas. ISU is in a better conference and it ends there.

Impossible. We are a blue blood.

actually, it’s a very good job. Probably a top 40 job in all of college basketball

UNLV? Top 20 job easy. ISU maybe top 40.

You are the one 100% wrong. TJ was Pollard’s choice when Leath pulled the power play and said Iowa State needed to hire a “high profile” coach to counter the loss of a “high profiled/legend” coach in Hoiberg. It happened the 11th hour.

This is 100% truth.

 

[Stormin]

And, Otz would be any different? Meaning; he's not a proven P5 coach.

Prohm is not a proven P5 Coach. This team sucks.

This isn't just a down year with help on the way either, he's in over his head.

I believe next year everyone will be talking about how good he is again and most will be thankful we have him.

Hi Steve!

 

[jackrabbit]

Why would you congratulate him for the eventual death of our program after hiring ANOTHER unproven non p5 level coach? Give me a break with this weaksauce.

Maury John - Drake HC (13 yrs)
Ken Trickey - Oral Roberts HC (5 yrs)
Lynn Nance - Kentucky Asst Coach (3 yrs)
Johnny Orr - Michigan HC (12 yrs)
Tim Floyd - New Orleans HC (5 yrs)
Larry Eustachy - Utah State HC (5 yrs)
Wayne Morgan - ISU Asst Coach / Syracuse Asst Coach
Greg McDermott - UNI HC (5 yrs)

The next ISU men's basketball head coach will almost for sure come from a non power 5 program and have had a successful 4+ year HC record at their previous school. A good current example would be Steve Forbes at East Tennessee State. Based on ISU's history of hiring men's basketball coaches, Otz will need two to three more seasons at UNLV.

Timing would be about right. Gives the accountant a couple of years to get the buyout down a few million.
