Good MBB article from Travis Hines

One thing I really like about Prohm is his candidness and honesty. He wouldnt have had to mention how he apologized to LW but he did. He is seemingly one of the most humble guys I have seen in his position.
I think he is honest with his guys too. The problem is some people don’t like honesty.

Do we not like him now? Serious question, I thought he was pretty well-liked when he left.
I, too, thought that last paragraph, where he explains why he wants to be here is so Prohm. And who could speak about the Hoiberg situation past and present with more class than he does?
You can't handle the truth...
Prohm comes off as the nicest guy ever.
I always saw him as a necessary evil, but one who could backfire at some point.
Still might at Nebraska if he gets photographed going into a meeting with a player with a bag with some cartoony dollar signs drawn on the side of it.
I didn’t like that greaseball when he was here. He was dirty here too.
Huh. I thought we were still boycotting Hines after the Hoiberg/sleeping in hotel lobbies article from 4 years ago. Guess I'm behind the times.
He's a direct competitor so I'm not sending him a big box of candy on Valentines Day. He's likely to trash us using his time in Ames to reveal "insider" dirt on why ISU sucks. Fred would look like an insincere hypocrite if he rips us himself so he can have his made man do.
I didn't mean that we weren't competing. Just that people make it sound like MA was dirty or left on bad terms or something, and I don't recall that. And I don't follow every twist and turn of recruiting so it's entirely possible I missed something.
That said, if Fred and staff go negative with their "insider" knowledge of us...we know them pretty well too. So isn't that basically a wash?
I know a couple people and they say he is dirty as they come. When the FBI stuff started to come out I was relieved that Monte was the only one brought up in a trivial thing.
I would like to know as well. If he's such a bad dude why does Fred love him so much? Is Fred a bad dude? I'm far from a Freddy worshiper but he's a good human...I think.
Really loved these. Prohm gave so much info and is so honest about everything.
The thing is that if you trade out THT for Lindell we become tiny on the defensive end. Our defense showed signs this year and we ended better than we have been recently in kenpom.
Its college basketball. Everyone has some dirt, quit being naive.
That’s more coach’s speak and gamesmanship than an admittance or being apologetic imo. Nothing good comes from Prohm publicly saying Wigginton never developed the consistency needed on both ends to justify starting over Shayok or Haliburton.
He wasn’t our best player. He had the potential to be but wasn’t.
He literally said "I apologized" to Lindell at least four times in that piece. He said he should have started him at some point, that he deserved it. Seems pretty explicit to me.
And I should have been more clear. Lindell was undoubtedly considered our best player coming into the season. I agree it did not turn out that way.
I'm not necessarily disagreeing with Prohm's decision to bring him off the bench. I just didn't realize he struggled with it so much, especially given we had enough stretches of bad games where a chance to shake things up might have been a good thing.
