I knew he atleast had a foot out the summer he "secretly" interviewed for the Warriors.
Another problem that they have is that Trev Alberts has a mediocre track record when it comes to building a basketball program. Omaha managed to sprinkle in a few winning seasons but has never maintained a positive direction in the program. Most seasons have been sub-500. Is he the guy that you want to choose the next coach?Are you suggesting that Nebraska is an organization that is efficient at locating and hiring coaches that will be worse than their predecessor? And does so in both basketball and football?
Yeah Fred goes out of his way to me more boring publicly than he really is.
People have a love hate with Alberts from dropping wrestling. Football too but wrestling seemed to make a louder groan.
1.) So you are a "don't sweat enough" and "hero ball" guy? Oof. Fred's teams were very good at sharing the ball. He also was great at exploiting mismatches, which some think is hero ball. They were top-10 in the nation in A/FGM at least one season
2.) What is your evidence for otherwise?
I have wins, consistent execution, buy-in, and many players known for their professional and work ethic on my side. There was little lockerroom turmoil, despite, particularly the transfer narrative of "outcasts".
Who ever this is should probably just cut your losses and stop posting.
Oh look more condescending dooshiness from Final Four.
I'm not any of that...you're acting like ISU basketball under Fred was late 80s/90s UNLV when it had plenty of games where things were stagnant.
Why did you switch your username?
Yes, very good at exploiting mismatches. Excellent with late game scores too overall.
So you're a 'buy-in' type for Fred but not TJ?
Fred is putting up some historical numbers at Nebraska.
- Fred is currently 19-51.
- You need to go back to WW2 times to find a coach with a worse 2 year win total than Fred.
- Grandpa Hoiberg (Bush) had a few stinkers in his 9 year career at Nebby in the 50's. His overall record was 85-132.
- In all of history, Nebraska basketball is 1532-1416.
- Fred is currently 19-51.

Wrestling was cut, by voicemail, literally an hour after winning its sixth national championship in an eight-year span. The head coach was delivering his celebratory speech to the team at the time. UNO was the dynasty in D-II wrestling at the time. Much more popular than football.
The main take away I got from this thread is DON'T EVER let @WhoISthis, get on the basketball search committee. It would be a disaster worse than hiring Prohm.
What makes TJ a great recruiter isn't just the stars attached to the players' names. What makes him a great recruiter is he brought/brings guys to Ames to live up to their billing and then some. Talent evaluation and fit matters and so does how you coach them up once you have them on campus.
See above. Xavier Foster had some nice star ratings but amounted to nothing.
This will be an all-time "What if?" for me with Cyclone basketball. What if Hoiberg really committed to Iowa State in the long term and forgot about the NBA? What if he then started landing those 5* guys who had an interest in his style of play? And what if he hired a "defensive coordinator" (and hey there's this guy kind of languishing in Cedar Falls who might be okay) to at least try to firm up the defense?
Culture matters. Steve Prohm fooled many here when he inherited guys like Naz, Morris, Georges etc. He had an equally, if not more talented roster in 2018-19 and it imploded on him.
It is not systemic changes. frankly, Fred is not the coach he was in 2010-2014. We've been hearing how the transfer rebuild is in the past now that everyone is doing it for 6 years, yet Prohm and TJ both have done that.
Maybe we'll find out with TJ- the offense will come I think, they are playing better than the shot making suggests. Although peak Fred was as good at exploiting mismatches as any imo.
But you're so correct, Sig. What if he started to get more top choices in recruiting, guys with slightly less defensive deficiencies because he was committed to Iowa St long term and recruiting that way? Plus, adding a guy like Green.
Speaking of what-ifs and Green, what if Prohm had given in and hired Green? Would that also have gotten AJ?
hero ball was more of a Prohm thing. There was NO ball movement, just one on one. Terrible to watch.
One.........you need to get professional help with your obsession with Prohm and two.......if it's not the transfer market, must be Fred then, right? Because if Prohm fooled people with those players.........so did Fred. Don't think so......look at his college results without them.
