Will Prohm ever win a championship?

[CloneFan4]

Serious question, what is his specialty as a coach? Feel like we lack an identity.

Recruiting talented players and letting them play. The Scott Drew of the early 2010s.

I am not going to argue championships because at this point it's silly. How ever I just wish that it felt like this team came I to game prepared.

For sure. Fire him.

He's not wrong. Failing to win the league is fine, but to fall out of the race the way we have is inexcusable. Two weeks ago we were a game back with the easiest remaining schedule. The computers had us as the favorites. Plenty of analysts were describing us as the most talented team in the league. We have one of the best home courts in the country. This wasn't just the opinion of kool aid chugging Clone fans, this was a lot of experts and media around the country.

To come up a game or two short losing to KSU or TT would have been just fine. Having KSU or KU get hot and win out to beat us would be fine. But getting swept by a struggling TCU and beat by a short handed BU, two of those at home, is inexcusable.

This looks on paper like our best window for several years, and we aren't even going to be a factor. We will lose Marial, Babb, Talley, and likely Wigs next year and I am not that impressed with next years recruiting class.

We look like program that can make a tourney more often then not, but I agree that I don't see any signs that we are building to anything bigger than that. Some fans may be content with that, but I think the ceiling is higher at ISU. Just look at what is happening across the parking lot with football.

Was the previous coach building to anything better? Based on his quotes, he'll probably be building to something better in the PAC-12 next year.

Fire Prohm.

For sure. Fire him.

Thanks for the thoughtful post!

You're right. The team is garbage. Fire Prohm. We have 40 years of coaches that are far better than him.

Get it together. Take your emotional issues somewhere else.

Losing always sucks, but we shot 10% from the 3-point line (2-20) and we were still in it right to the end.

We definitely need to be more consistent and tougher at home, but those are fixable issues.

Thanks for the thoughtful post!

If I can't beat them, I'll join them. Fire him. He's awful.

Talen and Haliburton are young. Everyone else is an experienced D1 college basketball player. The young excuse is overstated.

Yeah...young works in December/January but it's March next week.

I meant a real championship, not a conference tourney.

I mean cause we are a powerhouse and just have sooooooooooooo many championships huh.

Some of you seriously need some realistic perspective

Get it together. Take your emotional issues somewhere else.

Why? I've read this afternoon that Prohm is the worst coach in the conference from multiple people. I've read that we pissed a chance at a conference championship down our legs. I've read that he doesn't know what players to play. I've read that he takes terrible timeouts. All of that I have read TODAY.

If that is all true and you are the geniuses that you think you are, then he should be fired.

Why would you ***** about me telling the truth?

Fire Prohm!

 

[IlliniCy]

This is my thing too. What one thing do we do really well?

Watch the other team rebound.

I know a guy who can. His name is 4 letters and starts with Fr.

Says the person posting in this thread.

You all have seem to come to the realization that he is a terrible coach that will never win. I like him, but you are all smarter than me, so he should be fired.

Some are overreacting, but some criticism is warranted. You are being overly sensitive.

For sure! He'll do it next year. Did you read his quotes about how he really didn't hate recruiting? Seems to me he hated it here then.

Ehhh....all of these weaknesses seem to be fireable offenses. Next man (TJ) in!

 

[CyclONE Nation]

Yeah...young works in December/January but it's March next week.

So it works three weeks ago but not today?

This is the problem. If we shoot well we can beat anyone. If we don't we are not gonna win many because we just don't do anything else well.

Fran isn't the answer.
