Hilton magic is dead, has been for 2 years.
This is insane for a team that finished in the top 4/5 and went to 5 straight NCAA tournaments. And has had 2 NBA players on the team since. That’s coaching.
Can’t afford to buy him out really need to find someone to take him
Remember when he finished last place and then the next year went 9-9 with a loaded roster was was extended and got a raise and then the very next year finished last in conference again?

Just my $0.02, Iowa State basketball didn't have a pulse until Fred came in and put us on the map. We were big time, nationwide. Must watch TV. We were all ******* proud of this basketball program, of Hilton.
And with all the momentum one could ask for in taking over this program, Prohm ***** the bed. Hilton was an embarrassment last year. We made fun of Freds defense when Prohms doesn't look much better, and his style of offense belongs to the 60's.

Losing always sucks, but I didn't think we played too badly tonight. Most nights when you make only 4/23 3-point shots you're going to lose. I didn't think shot selection was too bad; just a really off shooting night from the perimeter.
I would say that tonight's SDSU team is probably the best "mid-major" team we've lost too. I know, silly thing to write, but it's not like we lost to FAMU tonight. They reminded me a lot of some of UNI's better teams; bunch of white guys who don't look like much, but can absolutely shoot and ball.
If we have Trae Jackson and maybe even a healthy Xavier Foster I think we win. Solo was great tonight, too bad it had to be in a losing effort.

We need to fire him, but we won't.
Also, I think we should informally agree not to use the "winner" reaction in any Prohm thread. It just doesn't fit.

I think the only legitimate excuse is Haliburton and THT were not expected to be done so quickly.
We've got solid freshman this year and a stud PG coming in next year.
We're stuck anyway. But if he coaches any of these young guys into another high draft pick without creating a team that can actually win, it should be obvious that we need to go another direction.
Back up the truck for CMC, we’re a football school now.
You have no clue. This is nothing.
Should’ve hired otzelberger when we had the chance in 2015
Remember what it took for Pollard to fire Rhoads right? Even though we all knew he should be canned it took that epic meltdown at Kansas St for firing to finally happen.
I'm sure but it's a great fall from what it was just 4 years ago.
And he’s proven to let things go longer with Basketball. Here are our records with McDermott
15-16
14-18
15-16
15-17
After all that, and losing almost everyone, we were still going to bring him back for a 5th year. We may have awhile yet of this.
They were No.4 in the nation 5 years ago when Matt Campbell was just hired and spoke at halftime.
I’m all in on Prohm through next year. The roster is clearly upgraded from an athletic and potential perspective from last year. Foster, Bolton, Johnson, MSU transfer, 4 star guard...not too mention Harris and Jackson and the other freshmen being a year older. Prohm’s best coaching and team building will be in the next 10 games, IMO. It will be rough, but how do they grind through, grow and hopefully find some success and run into some good wins to put a good taste on a short and difficult year.
