Prohm Fired

[Bestaluckcy]

Best of luck to former Coach Prohm and his family in the future. Thoroughly enjoyed the great wins and appreciated the hard work and dedication to making men’s basketball the best that he could. The integrity he displayed is needed in today’s sports world. Hope for more great victories in our ISU basketball future. Best pay my cyclone membership now.

Brother of a guy on the team. Almost as valid as Oklahoma State getting Cade Cunningham, do your research.

Great news. This is exactly the type of recruiting we need. So much for the recruiting concerns

Okay something I was thinking about too, if we get TJ would we be getting Grill back or could he come back? He already followed TJ out to UNLV, who’s to say he wouldn’t do the same to follow him back to Hilton. Don’t know how transfer rules would affect that though, could someone shine some light on that?

He will do well coaching at his level. I am sure he will land a good 1A high school gig.

 

[GTO]

That has Matt A written all over it, “Hey Fred I got this guy, but he’s actually not THE guy. THE guy is his little brother that if we don’t take the older brother we would have no shot at. Let’s go Hoiberging”

Sounds very Lazardian.

Gophers made it official tonight and have thrown their hat into the coach hiring ring. They also used the "parted way" term.

Speculation late tonight from Star Tribune is:

Candidates to replace Pitino — based on early speculation — include San Diego State coach Brian Dutcher, Utah State coach Craig Smith, Arkansas coach Eric Musselman, Colorado State coach Niko Medved, Cleveland State coach Dennis Gates, Loyola (Ill.) coach Porter Moser and former Timberwolves coach Ryan Saunders.​

 

[Dandy]

Sad but probable. TJ will get some good will and probably improve modestly on the current 2 win situation (the bar couldn’t be lower). Most important will be he will come reasonably cheap and in no way will overshadow CMC and the football program. So it goes...

I’ve never understood this thought. Why can’t both Campbell and new basketball coach both be well-paid and powerful? Why can only one exist but not the other? Think Oats at Bama is taking any power or limelight away from Saban? Not a chance.

Going to be competing for similar names. I'd like to think this is a better job, but Minnesota may have the resources to out bid Jamie if they want.

I love TJ dont get me wrong but if we dont give the full court press to Devries as the first option after the first round im going to be very unhappy. Devries Devries Devries!

It’s most definitely a better job.

Hard to full court press someone if they have no interest.

Does he have zero interest? Im guessing he has some

Not sure. Some posters who claim to know his family think he's not interested. I'd love to have him, but he might just not be an option.

Fred blows. Move on. Oh, and he QUIT on us.

Not sure. Some posters who claim to know his family think he's not interested. I'd love to have him, but he might just not be an option.

He is having great success where he is with all athletes returning next year and a chance to coach his son. Looks like he could ride that for another year as the opportunity to make a P6 jump will still be around

 

[Cychl82]

Well then we'll know with one phone call at least. He'd be a great fit and probably have a very good group of guys within 2 years.

we wont be competing for similar names

no one else but jp wants tj.

Best of luck to Prohm and family. That 2017 run in KC was one of the best memories that I have with my dad. He also coached some of the biggest road victories in ISU history, but it was obvious that a change was needed.

Jaime has whatever he needs

Hard pass on another Iowa mid-major

If you aren't interested in talking with a job that's 1) better than your current one and 2) the pay is 5x of your current salary, you are a moron. You may not take it or want to leave your current job but, at a minimum, you get more out of your current employer.
