I honestly wonder if he had some kind of psychological break immediately before, during, or after that situation. To your point, that seems like the moment everything started to go downhill in terms of performance and his own behavior.

Normally, I'd agree with this, but when the honesty and integrity of other coaches are being questioned, I'm afraid it does need to be spelled out simplistically.
two things since we’re still talking about it
1. “Sign-stealing” during a basketball game would be much more difficult than during a football game. First and foremost, because IIRC the accusation was not that they were stealing signs, but recording words and-or scribbles on a whiteboard. much harder to decipher in real time. Second, because there are substantially fewer people on a basketball bench, and there aren’t guys walking around at all times. I suppose the nonexistent kid in the stands doing the recording or picture-taking could go unnoticed, but it would be very risky for the imagined kid relaying the message to Otz to do so on the floor with media everywhere, a live TV broadcast focused on the huddle, and virtually every light in Hilton shining on the court. So, I guess it’s almost a compliment that Tang thought all that was doable
2. Even if all of it were true, the notion that no other team would’ve noticed, and that Iowa State would’ve been pulling out all the stops to beat fr****** Kansas State is maybe the most preposterous part of it all
He is such a clown. Although the mopping incident may be what fires me up even more than Tang-gate

Tang won't last the year. That was a dead b-ball program on display today, we had them gutted like a fish by the first tv timeout. On their home court. They need to clear the deck, and clear it now.
The KSU administration need to be looking under every rock to find dirt to either fire him with cause or give them leverage to lower the buyout.
His postgame presser was fitting. Spent the first few minutes talking about stuff other than the game to delay the inevitable... then the grilling began. No way he survives.
He will use the 3-4 starters out basically playing back ups. Get another year.
Lickliter dug the Iowa hole so deep, that it has impacted KSU basketball 16 years later. Black hole gravitational pull and all of that. TJ was smart enough to put an energy field around Ames that blocks that suck.
Marquis Nowell made Tang $30m....and he's probably playing for 300k right now in Spain. Amazing.
Does Steve prohm get the ISU job without ja morant? I think there are many coaches who lucked into massive money from players especially in basketball.
Ja Morant was at Murray St when Prohm was coaching ISU. Prohm's top players were Cameron Payne and Isaiah Canaan
Ja morant didn't play for prohm at murray, but your point is fair.
Never forget when Jerome Tang compared himself to John McLean in Die Hard as the hero who saved Nakatomi Plaza.
K State is Tang's Nakatomi Plaza, but it's not going to end well.
