About the "actually wants to be in Ames" ****, no coach is looking to build a lifetime deal here. That's just not how it works.
If that's a criteria, a coaching search isn't going to work out.

Good point. But hiring someone who bailed on us 6 years ago and who has a $10 million buyout doesn't seem like solid criteria either. And yet here we are still talking about Hoiberg coming back.

ABSOLUTELY NO defensive court awareness. Were these kids NEVER taught help D? Our Coach needs to check the capabilities of the coaching staffs you get your players from. NO knowledge of how to play at all. OR WORSE, NO CARING.

One positive and one negative from me..

The fact that Prohm has yet to figure out how to coach his players to defend ball screens is actually comical.

We are actually an excellent shooting FT team. Even though we don't shoot many of them, we rank 29th in the country and 1st in the conference in FT percentage (.772)

They usually devolve in their knowledge working with this staff. Evaluating their previous coaches won't solve the problems Prohm creates.

There have been some really good examples of two ends, different results. Like the same up and back set of possessions several times. Doesn't make a difference on the outcome, just would be nice to catch the same breaks occasionally.

This is true. For instance. If you watch Jackson in high school he actually moved his feet on defense and got after it. He now does neither.
