I didn’t say you were trolling.
I suggested you were being insecure and thus you got trolled. That joke is innocuous.

WrI don't really care that Holberg is going to be back, but I'm excited about Monte coming back!
But what I do want to point out is that hearing Prohm talk about it is pretty amazing. Steve gets compared to Holberg constantly and most of the time unfairly. (see the first comment in this thread---maybe Prohm can teach Fred how to play defense or hold players accountable) Every time Iowa State loses or doesn't win by enough, the Iowa State Men's Basketball Facebook page is filled comments about how everyone wants Fred back. I'm sure Prohm gets plenty of messages on twitter from idiots about Fred.
But yet, time and time again, Steve gives Fred credit for everything. If someone asks about a win Steve will jump in to give credit to Fred. There hasn't been much as far as blaming the previous coach for last year from Steve. Replacing a legend is never easy. There's a reason so many times they fail. I know that most people would get plenty sick of hearing about the person we replaced, no matter how good he was.
I know Fred will get a well deserved welcome tomorrow night, but what I hope is that Steve gets an even warmer welcome. Because he's the one that is here. He's the one that recruited Marial and Lindell and Tyrese and Talen. He's the one that has formed a pretty special bond with Monte. And he's the one that just had ANOTHER tope 25 road win
We've got a special coach. I wish we'd realize that.
Prohm is a special coach, and so was Fred. IMO, it's silly for everyone to keep comparing one against the other. It's negative energy and disrespectful to both.I don't really care that Holberg is going to be back, but I'm excited about Monte coming back!

You are strange. Time to get over your Fred obsessionNot really. Every time Steve does something people don’t like, they are clammering for Fred.
I sort of wish he’d wait to come back until the next coach is here (hopefully in many, many years).
Why so insecure and thus so easily trolled by the thread title? There’s a thread about Morris coming to the game and another thread tracking former recent Cyclones. It’s what fans tend to do in regards to former players. There’s even a thread about a former player’s daughter.
Hoiberg is currently one of the more prominent figures associated with Cyclone basketball. He’s known as a NBA guy, and there are likely current players and recruits that see value in the connection. It’s been long enough since he left that you shouldn’t throw a fit about his presence in Ames getting attention.
It still boggles my mind for everything Hoiberg did as a coach and a player how many people hate him. Extremely odd. It is possible to like both Fred Hoiberg and Steve Prohm. I fall in that category.
Pointing out that this board is obsessed with Fred is far from trolling.
I agree that he is a prominent figure in Cyclone Basketball and should be welcomed as such. I also think that taking pop shots about in-bound plays in the OP is a garbage take.

Who actually hates Fred?

Will they do announcements of them being there at time outs or anything?
Should have them all come out and do any sort of shooting contests during breaks too.
Find me a game thread where someone isn’t bringing up Fred and comparing prohm to him unfairly. I bet no more than 5 exist. And I’m not the one doing it.

Bringing up the previous coach is natural and commonplace, and that’s without them being a legend at the school and having unprecedented success after nearly a decade of poor play (four tournaments in a row). What’s more odd is how many people misconstrued harmless comparisons into attacks on Prohm. Do you remember the frustration with Hoiberg era defense? No, you probably don’t, as Fred had yet to scorn you.Find me a game thread where someone isn’t bringing up Fred and comparing prohm to him unfairly. I bet no more than 5 exist.
