I just really hope Jamie doesn't extend Prohm's contract this offseason. Give him a raise or whatever to keep him happy. We still need to see more before we extend.

I'd be curious about the assistant pay as well. The staff has recruited well no doubt and i get the strategy of keeping your circle tight has worked for some a la CMC, but i can't help but feel like Prohm could benefit from a mind on his staff that came from outside of the Iowa State/Murray State pool. Just food for thought.
From Prohm's biography on Wikipedia...
"He started college at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta where he played NCAA Division III basketball. Prohm only made it halfway through his first season as a player when he left the team to follow his passion for coaching. He transferred to the University of Alabama where he worked as a student assistant coach and student manager for the Crimson Tide men's basketball team for five years. He graduated from Alabama in 1997 with a degree in education.[2]"
Guess who was Alabama's head coach when Prohm was a student-manager?
Hobbs is still "within the circle" for Prohm.
Check out Iona's coach's last name. Bet the press has a field day with that when they aren't playing well.
My point is, we're getting a pretty good deal so far with Prohm. As we did with Hoiberg.
Reminds me of Ben Jacobson. Could have cashed in big on his success, but seems to be happy where he's at, and a good fit for his current job.
Yeah, that’s well known. But Hobbs isn’t part of the Murray St pool. Hobbs isn’t part of the Billy Kennedy pool that most assign Prohm to.
When talking CSP's salary compared to the rest of the Big 12, it's always important to note that the conference has a good number of veteran coaches who have commanded higher salaries (Self, Huggins, Kruger, Weber, Drew, Dixon). It's important to not pay him below market, but the current coaching makeup of the conference means the comparisons need to be taken with a grain of salt.
I would absolutely take him as an assistant for a year, maybe 2. But I think he could land a smaller job this off season. Dude made 2 Sweet 16s in last 3 years which is the farthest they have ever gone in the tourney in program history.

Pay v. performance this year. Not a single match.
