Hah! If they knew what they were talking about, they'd say "in last place in their conference again."
They're still overestimating Prohm.
What to do with Coach Prohm Poll..

If Wichita State fans get Prohm, I will actually feel a little bad for them, but will be forever grateful at the same time.
If it happens, I would hope that Prohm kind of turns into McDermott from here on out and has a nice career at a (slightly, though Creighton is more complex because of its promotion to the Big East) lower level. That he would learn from his mistakes in Ames, recruit well to Wichita's nice facilities for a mid-major, and be successful competing against players, coaches, and programs that are more at his level of competence than in the Big 12.
He can be successful at a lower level. He's a good enough recruiter to attract talent. If he has superior talent, he can win games.
He just can't coach.
I think the AAC is a huge step up from the Ohio Valley. It’s going to be hard for him to win there too, plus he’s not inheriting a great team.

I'd call it a, wait for it. Shocker!
It's probably more likely at this point Wichita St hires current Murray St coach, Matt McMahon, and then Prohm backfills McMahon.
This should be our top target for our next head men's basketball coach.

Odd, that link has nothing about backing a truck full of money into John Beilein's drivewayThis should be our top target for our next head men's basketball coach.

WSU is 8-3 overall and 4-1 in the conference, 2nd place behind #8 Houston. Why wouldn't they just hire the interim coach?
And why wouldn't JP go after Houston's coach, Sampson? Too high priced?

Smith certainly needs to be on the short list. Just wonder if TJ would still be JP's top target.
Kelvin Sampson would have them back in the NCAA and competing for Big 12 titles quickly but not sure Pollard would risk all the baggage he comes with.
TV Money. If the NCAA cuts back on games, I am sure ESPN, Fox & CBS will probably be looking for a reduction in rights fees they are paying if no content. Wouldn't surprise me if they haven't already broached that subject with NCAA/Conferences.
Look at last weekend, 3 of 5 Big 12 games were cancelled and other conferences took at hit as well. ESPN really struggled to fill programming spots with national/regional games of interest. I believe the ISU v. Baylor womens game changed channels 2x and ended up on ESPN2 at 7pm. Great women's basketball game, but I'm sure not ideal for ESPN ratings.
No Way Pollard would take Sampson.
The reality is Pollard is about integrity within his programs. Any coach he hires will be squeaky clean, value player academics and abide by NCAA rules.
Sampson also makes $3 mil per year. NCAA issues aside, Pollard has repeatedly demonstrated he is not paying top dollar for any proven coach. He’s gone the up and comer route every single time.
