*** Official Iowa State Season Thread ***

I suppose that's fair. Although, you could inform Steve on the timing, and allow him time to address his team before they see it on Twitter or something.

Oh Steve is well aware of what’s going on lol. There’s no doubt that the conversation has already happened despite him trying to play dumb about it in his post game press conferences.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

God Harris is awful. Maybe that's not fair but you're playing Big XII basketball and you double dribble? What the hell....

Not his best game by any stretch. He is one of the guys I'd like back next year though

Remember how bad D-Jack was at over dribbling and making dumb decisions when he had the ball in his hands too much? Yeah, Harris is the exact same. His role of being a fire ball off the bench would be perfect. Any more than that and he becomes too much.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Damn it Prohm get Johnson out!

Johnson is one who i think could be a a great role player. Unfortunately I think he is convinced he's a star

 

[StLouisClone]

I think you want until the team gets back from KC because it could be seen as unprofessional if they’re on the bus or in the hotel when it’d happen lol.

Let one of the assistants close this thing out. This is historically bad. Never has a firing been more justified. ISU could potentially sue Prohm for lack of performance under his contract. They won't and shouldn't, but it's not as crazy as it sounds.

Hahahaha I just found out we played today and just found out we lost. Incredible.

A good coach would sit his ass on the bench for playing “star” ball.

I don’t believe you can sue for a coach not doing well. But Jamie won’t allow that to happen because of a lot of reasons. Imagine if the assistant would win lol. Steve’s entire head coaching career would be over.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Is nate really that much better than the scholarship players?

Afraid so. To his credit, he does look fairly competent when in the game. More than I can say for about half the guys this year.

 

[scyclonekid]

******* embarrassing

 

[cyatheart]

I’m just not sure Prohm thought this team was going to fit together, you got no point guard, no shooters, yet he wants to play 4 guards

Or there could be a general idea coached into players to get rid of it if it's not there and keep the ball moving through the air since that's harder for a defense to recover.

But alas, here we are.

 

[tim_redd]

Can we hang it upside down?

hang it in the toilet stalls

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Tre looked like he was about to cry in that huddle

I like Tre. Not sure if he has any kind of ceiling you want him to have at the P6 level though, unfortunately. Could be useful in a system that uses a lot of guards, similar to Huggy ball

 

[CloneGuy8]

At least we'll get the #1 pick next year

 

[Cyinthenorth]

I don't mean this to disrespect Nate Jenkins...but the amount of tight game situations I have seen him play just shows how poor our recruiting has been the last few years. Nate is a good guy and he should get minutes for a team in the MVC, not ISU. Embarrassing really that that is where we are at. I like Prohm as a person, I really do and I wanted him to succeed at ISU and I will root for him to win at his next stop, but man we need some players.

I think Prohm puts him in to foul in late game situations. He's a heady player too, more so than Dubar, Blackwell etc

 

[Drew0311]

I agree. He'll demand the money because he won't coach a college, any college team again.

oh yes he will. He will get a job at an American east type school. Throw out the last two years and his resume is good. He has several NBA players. Jamie will vouch for him. He will either get a high profile assistant job or get a small mid major job.

 

[ISUTex]

Just 1 more game of the Prohm era. Thank god.

Maybe we'll have someone get contact traced and we won't have to suffer another game.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

So, can we fire him already? What is the point in keeping him for the Big 12 tourney? I guess it is just one game.

BTW, I tried to talk to Prohm at one of the tailgate events and he came off as a bit of an ass, kind of annoyed that he had to talk to a fan, so the nice guy thing doesn't work for me.

He can gtfo now

Too small, low basketball IQ. But he'll probably be on the roster next year. So, you'll probably get your wish.
