He could work with, coach up, and play them? They have the ability. He needs to give them a chance. The matador defensive strategy half of the game isn't exactly working against good teams on the road. Did Paige score 40 tonight? Paige?

Carter is an SDW all over again. That kid never sniffed the floor either.

What exactly do you think goes on during the days they aren't on TV? I have a feeling Prohm notices it when our subs get absolutely destroyed by our starters every day in practice.


Don't know, but I'm pretty sure they don't do a lot of boxing out or shell drills.

Anyone who watched knows the officiating wasn't great, but looking beyond that, 17 offensive rebounds, 97 points etc. The blame can't be solely on refs. Worst defensive outing of the season. If we could have been even marginal on d tonight, they win. But they were putrid

Lol at the people saying Cooke can't play because of him almost turning over the ball in the last ten seconds of a game he sat on the bench for 2 hours. Are you guys serious?

This team is what it is. I just think giving Burton/Nader/Thomas more than a two minute break per half would be a good idea. Ashton and Cooke are fully capable to provide a few minutes each half. I refer people to the Texas game where I felt rotation was key to winning.

yeah, these guys haven't played defense since Fred took over. Prohm had no time to recruit because hoiberg turned away recruits and then jumped ship when it was to late. He is failing at the Bulls. Another of his teams that doesn't play D.
That doesn't matter. It isn't November anymore. Prohm at least deserves some of the blame for how this season has gone and its ridiculous to think otherwise. it was his job to get them to play defense and he hasn't. That's a failure on his part. That doesn't excuse Hoiberg for not making them play defense but of prohm still hasn't figured out how to get through to these guys that is his fault.

Sadly, they are. Cooke has actually played well, when he's had a chance, lately. Should he be in there with Ashton? No. Maybe, he could be in there with Thomas and Niang? Crazy thought , I know. Monte's 40 minutes a game is totally sustainable. Nothing to worry about.
