I'd agree that there was a near-insurmountable amount of goodwill lost in that 2 week stretch. Embarrassed by your rival, biggest statistical upset in CBB history, inept loss, 26 point loss to KU.
Yeah I’m very patient and have supported Prohm, but that Iowa game followed by FAMU finally got to me.
Losing to FAMU at Hilton was absolutely, positively unexcusable. That's a fire him on the spot deal.
It is the equivalent of walking in to work, taking off your pants, and taking a huge dump right in the middle of the floor in front of everyone while signing Wrecking Ball. You are fired, escorted off the premises, and they will mail you your personal effects.
What happened in that TCU game? I recall we should have won and would have gotten us of to a good start in conference play but something weird happened at the end.
It certainly was wonky, however I think it's fair to say that something changed in the beginning of the year that took our team from competitive to awful. I mentioned it was the combination of the Iowa, FAMU, and TCU losses. They were all so emotionally taxing in their different ways.
If I remember correctly there was a foul/defend scenario where we didn't foul and they hit a deep 3.
Should’ve won, but RJ Numbnuts (who had a great game) drilled a 3 in the closing seconds
With 8 seconds left, RJ got a (moving) screen at the "T" on their center court, he took two dribbles to get to the "U" and banked in a prayer. Conditt didn't contest it because he didn't want to get called for a foul, which was actually smart.
I always foul up 3 with that amount of time left.
If he wins out he is absolutely brought back. We would finish 10-11 and 8-8 in the conference. It might not be the best long term for the program but he would absolutely get another year.
To me the more interesting, and realistic, scenario is a 4-4 finish with a couple wins against TCU, and a couple wins against the likes of Oklahoma/Kansas/Oklahoma State. In that situation we are 6-15 and 4-12 in the conference but you have an uptick at the end of the year. I think JP might holdover the Prohm team one more year of that situation arises. I think he would do so even if it alienates some of the boosters and donors knowing full well that he is going to get their Cyclone Club donations because of Football.
Lol why are we talking about winning out? I’d be shocked if we won two games.
Alienating big money boosters to keep a 4-12 coach in his sixth season is not a hill I would choose to die on.
When we were up I thought, you know, we should keep Prohm. Now we're tied at half so I'm on the fence.
That loss is a perfect example of why Prohm should not be back next year. Killed on the boards like always. Completely lost on offense at times. Horrible shots or turnovers after timeouts.
Prohm has gotta go now. This is ridiculous. Didn't score a fg for 8 and a half minutes in the second half. Have lost our last 13 big 12 games. Haven't won a big 12 game since Feb 25th last season. End the misery for everyone and fire his ass now. Let one of the assistants coach the rest of the year.
No physical toughness. No mental toughness. No spiritual toughness.
Nothing.
Nothing.
I mean “nothing” may be a little harsh. We have contested step back 17 footers and your occasional forced deep three, which are technically something.
