I love Fred, went to college when Fred was here, but if I never hear his name again I’ll be OK. The cult of Fred Hoiberg is weird AF but hey, we’re in Iowa, Steve King has been elected a few times.
For me, the perplexing thing is what is it about Prohm that these people hate? Is that he is a southeasterner and doesn't have Iowa/upper midwest roots? Is it because he doesn't have a list of P5 schools on his resume, and as such isn't good enough for ISU? Is it because he doesn't turn a blind eye to out-of-control player shenanigans for the sake of winning, and actually holds players to standards (like expecting them to attend practice)? Is it that he holds religious convictions?
Like this poster who is waving the "Hoiberg Standard" flag and questioning whether ISU really finished out the TT game...that is just so far out there that there that there has to be some vendetta beyond basketball driving it. You can't even attribute it to sheer stupidity.
Monte’s play with Denver has really made me question Fred. Much of Fred’s success may have just been Monte. I think Prohm is a better coach than Fred. I didn’t like the hire but I really like Prohm now.
If someone can edit out Rome and repost, I will listen.
Early 90s. He kept calling Jim Everett, Chris Evert, a female tennis player.What is this from?

This gif represents him perfectly hahaWonder why people don't like Jim Rome? Biggest ***** ever.
It was not staged. They still don't like each other from what I can tell. Doing a quick search, I also saw Everett was approached by a "large burger franchise" that wanted to use the clip in an Ad, Everett agreed and Rome denied.Bummer. I liked the Rome. Lame of him to call him that and even more lame if this was staged.
There's definitely some very slow people on here.I have always questioned Prohm's coaching ability and was generally ridiculed for it. The simple truth is most people on CF are just fanatics and don't understand the game, these ding dongs are awfully quiet now.
