Does Steve Prohm have a new unofficial standard?

[Brandon]

Probably both mixed with Xanax

Likely butted the xanax

Hoiberg brought ISU basketball back from the dead. And I'll be forever grateful for that because the McDermott years SUCKED.

But let's not pretend Fred Hoiberg was some amazing success here that we haven't seen before. He went had ONE Sweet 16 and 2 conference tournament titles with probably the most cumulative talent we've had at Iowa State (Nader, Burton, Niang, Naz, Monte NBA guys, Matt Thomas who is killing it in Europe and several other professional players).

Prohm has matched that success and had to fill the massive recruiting hold Fred left us in.

Outside of his player status, I have no clue why so many people are clamoring for him back...

Here are the records in conference play for our former coaches going back to Johnny:

JO -- 79-117
Floyd -- 30-30
LE -- 42-38
Morgan -- 22-26
McDermott -- 18-46
Mayor -- 49-39
Prohm -- 35-37

I'd say Mayor did pretty well at ISU.

Well played, I burst out laughing at this while at work finishing up my day.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Only idiots will judge Prohm's success against Hoiberg.

We got some idiots tho

 

[knowlesjam]

We need more of this...

This thread. *Face palm*

My dad told me there would be days like this.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that in 4 years or so Fred Hoiberg is regularly getting beyond the first round in the NCAA tournament and Steve Prohm is not. Should Hoiberg's success at Nebraska be used as a standard for what we should expect from Steve Prohm here? Would it be reasonable to expect Prohm to do at least as well here as Hoiberg does at Nebraska?

I think so. Iowa State has a DEEP tradition and history in basketball. For all the years that we sucked in football, we regarded ISU as a "basketball school". I don't care who is coaching at Nebraska, we should be able to do as well as a school with next to no history in the sport, and which as of right now still has NO NCAA tournament wins.

I think Pollard giving Prohm a contract extension is going to haunt him.

Jesus ******* **** let Fred go. If Fred goes to Nebby why the **** does what he gets done at a B1G School have to do with what the hell Iowa State does. He is gone from Iowa State and we should stop giving a flying **** what the dude does. I hope Nebby is absolute trash so you people get Fred off this god damn pedistol you have put him on. Good ******* lord.

We get it you hate CSP.

We get it you hate CSP.

That is what you gathered from simply posting the conference records of our past/present coaches/coach?

Nope your posting history.

 

[harimad]

You must be really young. ISU most certainly does NOT have a deep basketball tradition. The current era is the best in school history and it's not even close.

I lol'd at that sentence also.

Edit: Weren't we actually a wrestling school?

BASKETBALL SCHOOL

 

[Cat Stevens]

Just checking here.....you realize Fred wasn't fired by ISU, right?

The Fred knob slobbers are working overtime to save his legacy.

He left. He chose to leave. He spent three years trying to leave. He came back for a pr interview during the Baylor game to get his name out there.

He is choosing to go to nebbie, if they make a deal. He would not, and will not, come back to Iowa State, unless he has no other options.

 

[SCyclone]

We DO have a deep, long-standing tradition as a computer science school.

You want athletics? How about gymnastics?

And a men’s gymnastics school

No matter what Fred does Prohm will never do good enough for some in this fan base. People act like this program is filled with past success, when that isn't even close to the case. When the highlight of your program is losing an Elite 8 game you have work to do. Getting to the Sweet 16 year in year out is not an easy task, making an Elite 8 is even harder. I have had fans tell me ISU needs to be winning Conference titles. We have won 2 of this the last 50 year and really have never competed for one outside of that. The coach that made it happen ruined the program for the next 10 years. Compare ISU to Purdue, they have a little better history than ISU, have had a good run the last 15 years, have a good program, yet Matt Painter has been the Elite 8 once and the Sweet 16, 5 times. Sometimes you have to be happy and enjoy what you have.
