Hoiberg to Huskers

I would not be surprised if Neb makes the sweet 16 before the Cyclones do

 

[Cat Stevens]

This is exactly what I am convinced will happen. This is why I posted that "unofficial standard for Prohm" thread. Compared to ISU, Nebraska has NO tradition or history in basketball. Prohm should be able to be as successful here as Hoiberg is there, but I think Hoiberg will be much more successful there, and Prohm's supporters will make all sorts of excuses.

You’re still as stupid as you were under your other screen name

We have 5 Sweet 16+ appearances in our history (1986, 1997, 2000, 2014, 2016). They have 0.

Then you should definitely be a nebraska fan.

I was hoping SP would go take the Alabama Job and Fred could have come back here

 

[Cat Stevens]

I am NOT a "Prohm hater". I am a "losing hater", and that loss to Ohio State has me REALLY REALLY pissed off. We had the personnel to beat Ohio State easily. Just imagine double-teaming Wesson with Lard and Jackobson, not for extended periods of time but only for a minute or two here and there, just long enough to get into Wesson's head and take away his confidence. Oh, well, we have 5 months t complain about, since it was an NCAA tournament loss and ended our season, and that is on Prohm.

Holy ****. You’re trying to top yourself.

 

[ruflosn]

Yep, we're a fragile bunch in the Midwest. Gonna be pretty obnoxious for the foreseeable future.

Cycotic.

Good lord he isn't coming back ever. This **** is stupid.

You have to start somewhere/ sometime.

You need to pump the brakes on Fred being the next great thing. He was good at ISU but he never won a regular season title, averaged 10 losses a year and never got past the sweet 16. The NBA game is different than college but his Bulls teams looked poorly coached. He also never recruited the state of Iowa that well (granted there is rarely a lot of talent).

Calipari and Pitino are the only coaches that I can think of that came back to college and did great things, and they both took teams to the final four before jumping to the pros.

Leonard Hamilton, who had the closest resume to Fred at the time they jumped to the league, and Lon Krueger both had decent success coming back to the college game. Nothing close to Pitino or Calipari level of success though

It isn't about any specific CF poster, but some people just have a reality problem. You accept that and move on.

Hell they don't even have 1 tourney win. Fred will probably change that though.

 

[Cat Stevens]

I disagree, Fred has a huge advantage because of his name and national media recognition.

The only reason people across the country would know Fred is from his time with the bulls. He was rated the worst coach in the nba the last two seasons.

He was a role player in the nba, and he coached at Iowa State.

Love Fred, but let’s not pretend this was Penny Hardaway going back to memphis, or Clyde Drexler going back to Houston.

I do think Fred could be the guy to get them over that hump.

Looking at it again, it's remarkable that we've had multiple coaches reach the Sweet 16. Orr, Floyd, Eustachy, Hoiberg, Prohm.

 

[Cat Stevens]

Let me guess. You're on of the ones that forgot Monte played injured against Virginia.

That does not fit the agenda.

Isn’t it just bizarre how hard some of these folks are trying to protect a guy that tried to leave over and over.

It’s cool he left, he used the quickest avenue available to get an NBA coaching job. Good for him.

Now the knob polishers are going into OT to make him seem like some kind of victim. It’s just weird.

I agree he was not a successful NBA coach, not even super successful college coach. When he was at Iowa state he was a media darling, they loved him.

 

[Cat Stevens]

ISU isn't a Top 25 program

Doesn’t fit the agenda. Prohms fault Fred left one incomplete team behind.

It’s a fluke that Monte cama back, and Naz got injured. That second team was supposed to be Deonte Burton and Matt Thomas (who was considered an underachiever through 2 years).

But those little pesky facts get overlooked because it doesn’t glorify Fred.

In the Midwest.

Pace yourself Cat, don't use all your salt in the morning or you'll have none left for the rest of the day.
