*** Official IOWA STATE VS Kansas State Game(Day) Thread ***

[Wally86]

the McDermott era came to an end in unexpected fashion. Maybe we can get lucky again. He had two worse years in conference than this. Not sure what to think of an incoming top 25 recruiting class. It should be something to look forward to but it is hard to imagine getting younger and better at the same time. With all the pros Prohm has had on the team it feels like a lot of underperforming. My number one want in a coach is a good communicator. That is number one for recruiting, managing the press, attracting assistants, coaching and game management. Prohm is usually painful to listen to.

He got a timeout back in January for insulting people who he disagreed with, rather than providing counter arguments. He returned a few weeks later and didn’t learn his lesson.

So he acted like he was in the Cave

I'd like to see if the recruiting class not being in the top half of the conference really matters in a year.

Cat makes The Cave look like a civilized discussion.

 

[jcisuclones]

Did he return as some 'ISU125' name?

No he’s been posting here in the last month getting into fights as recent as the last couple days.

Thx

Hmm...didn't see that.

I can say that Hoiberg was better at least in setting up an identity for his program and such but his worshipping of CFH was...weird.

 

[CycloneErik]

Seems like a big effort to design print and market a shirt for one game

Pretty sure Nike makes a template and just plugs their schools into it, don't they?

Might want to look into that more.. lately he’s been attacking people for saying anything remotely positive about Fred.

Are we talking about the same poster?

That sounds like Cat.

I'm talking about Jereisb, the poster that said that ISU would have gone to a Final Four now if Fred were still the coach and called Ohio State one of the worst teams to ever be in the NCAA tournament, even though there was nothing to support either point.

 

[Go2Guy]

Will that cost Texas an NCAA berth?

Will it cost Shaka his job?

Yep done months ago. Not really any work on Iowa State's part.

Hummm...we have a couple posters here who run their gunner mouths and don't get banned.

I totally agree on your point regarding communication. The guy sounds like farmer Fran from the water boy.

That's an interesting point and probably the reason I (unconsciously) stopped listening to post-pressers.

And double interesting because I didn't even realize that's why I don't watch/listen to post-pressers, or really any interviews.

Granted I don't take much from them even in football but in football I don't feel like communication is an issue...basketball has felt that way for a while now.

 

[Lineup]

is there anything good about Prohm

Sure there is.

He’s a good guy.

 

[Go2Guy]

I think he's an outstanding human being who treats everybody (not just the sycophants) with respect..as opposed to other coaches who acted just the opposite.
