He may very well be, but in the Big 12 in 2019 that doesn't necessarily make you a bad coach.It seems like we all think he is another GMAC. I read multiple times he is the worst coach in the conference.

Why do we think we have the 2nd best roster in the Big 12?
Maybe these guys overachieved to win what they did?
Either way, it has become clear that Prohm is in over his head. Fire him. It's far past time.

Then I think your expectations are a little unrealistic. Would I love to see them win a Big 12 championship? Of course. But everything has to come together for that to happen. Heck, the only coach that's won one since I started following them 40 years ago is Eustachy, yet they have had a lot of good coaches over that period...Orr, Floyd, Hoiberg, and IMO, Prohm.It's all expectation. If that is your expectation, then you're good. For many, they expect to compete for big 12 titles, good seeds and sweet 16's.
What teams in conference do you believe put a better 7 players out there?
So you agree, cool lol
There are reasons teams lose. But what I see is an ISU team that goes up against opponents that consistently have a better game plan coming in and execute that gameplan better. We're talking about getting absolutely run out of the gym against TCU at home and looked better in every aspect, A Baylor team that went to the paint all game and looked superior almost all game, a subpar Oklahoma team that drove the ball down our throat and outplayed us all except the last 5 minutes where shayok played out of his mind.
I just see teams that come in with plans and execute those plans while we sit on the outside and depend on hot shooting. We are too talented of a team to look completely befuddled at times and I don't think this staff is putting the players in a good enough position too maximize their talent.
If that makes me a drama queen then so be it. I am a huge supporter of Iowa state and was a season ticket holder until this year when i moved too far away. I dont enjoy complaining about prohm, but i'm going to call it like i see it and I do think many games we come in with an inferior game plan or he continues to play players that cannot execute that game plan.
The more I read your posts, the more I am convinced that you are an *******.
Just think if there would have been message boards back when Johnny Orr was coaching. They couldn't win a road game in or out of conference to save their ass. The defense was always atrocious too.******** about conference road wins now...yeah, I'm sure you were bound and determined to give Prohm a fair shake when he was hired...
Are you going to give him or the team credit for winning at Texas Tech, K-State, or even Ole Miss?
You are right. The other teams are filled with terrible players.

I wouldn't be upset if they went in a different direction.
I am saying that we should not settle. Sounds like we are somewhere in the middle. Point is, don't think Prohm can maximize this program.Then I think your expectations are a little unrealistic.

You could argue the Royce team underachieved (8 seed) as well as the team the year after that (10 seed).Which year were we ever worse than a 7/8 with three 4 star players + the 2nd leading scorer in the Big 12? I’ll hang up and listen.
He had the perfect opportunity this year. Kansas is down and ISU had more talent than anybody else in the league. Instead of capitalizing, his team just completely implodes with inexcusable home losses and uninspired efforts against sub 500 teams. If he cant do it this year, I don't see how he is ever going to. I don't think he is building anything here. Just stuck on mediocrity.

Only one ISU coach has won a conference title the last 50 years. Why is Prohm held to such a high bar compared to other ISU coaches? This team will get 10 conference wins at the least, starting 2 freshmen and 2 sophs in this top 7. How many ISU teams have done that. Before the season people would be happy being a bubble team, now its conference title or bust, I guess. The most disappointing part of this team the last 2 weeks have been the play of the seniors.
