Steve Prohm returns as head coach at Murray State
- Thread starter Trice
- Start date
The guy can spot talent early and get commits. He will probably thrive there just doing that.
Good for Steve. Hopefully he can use what he learned at Iowa State to be successful at Murray again.
I wish him luck. Seems to be a fine guy but not a fit for ISU/BigXII
He'll probably go back to winning there if I had to guess.

Yeah, I can see him kicking ass at Murray.
That's the right move for both sides.
Murray can't gamble on a new guy with the step up in league and Prohm gets to go home and coach at a level where he's best suited.
The rare hire that makes sense from every angle.

Feel like Murray is “home” for him and his family so this worked out great. Everyone gets to go home.
Prohm seems to fit the mold similar to McDermott. Great with the mid majors where guard play is the stronger focus, but not cut out for the power conferences.
Good for him, and hopefully he can repeat the success he had with them previously.
Well, he will become a lifer there and probably turn them into a perennial at-large contender regardless of winning the Missouri Valley.
Would be great for his family with their connections to the area. He's set for life financially.
Will raise the water on the entire Missouri Valley. I look at the WCC with Gonzaga. Having to try and compete with Gonzaga raised the talent of that conference. Theoretically, if Gonzaga had left that conference a decade ago, I'd be willing to be they would be a 1 bid league.

Hopefully for him it's a McDermott type scenario where he thrives once he goes back to a smaller league.
He was always a bit of a fish out of water here and I hold no ill will towards him at all.

Happy for him. I think he can succeed there.
I'd say McDermott is having some success now in a Power conference.
Good for him, good move for Murray. With so many SEC schools having coaching changes, there will be a lot of kids he would have ties to available in the portal. Literally every coach that has been there the last 30 years has had success (and got p6 jobs), they are moving up to the MVC, it's an underrated mid major job.
Will definitely cheer for Murray going forward
