I just wish all these supposed grown men could actually act like men like Prohm and Fred. I get being upset sometimes, but the constant screaming is embarrassing. All the moron talking heads shocked that Grayson Allen loses his *** when his legend of a coach acts like a lunatic for 80 minutes a week.

Maybe the calm demeanor has some downsides, but I think its a good reason this team stays calm even when adversity hits.

Good coaches have full control of what they are doing. They'll ***** and moan to the refs but all of it is an act to get what they want I.e. Self's tantrums when the calls go against him. He even gets T's when it suits his team. Refs get played like a harp by coaches that know what they are doing.

I think this is why we hired Steve Prohm. Underwood looks too much like McDermott. Not sure, but didn't Underwood interview?

You may be onto something. I remember his name coming up at the time, but can't recall if he interviewed.

Struck me a few minutes ago: If we were to advance to the Big 12 Tourney final, beat Kansas again, doesn't that make Prohm 3-2 against Self and KU?

That's an OK demeanor that's getting something done.
Chickens hatching and all that....but oh, MY - that would be grand!

Ok but just because someone was crazy compared to Prohm doesn't mean he actually was in danger of being tossed. Honestly though last night their actions were relatively comparable.

Also he didn't get the T until like halfway through the second half.

Prohm is almost unanimously regarded as the calmest/least likely to complain coach in the league. If he is your baseline almost every coach in the country goes batshit crazy. I mean what do you think Huggins does?
Again, you are trying to argue a point I'm not making. It's like when you are arguing over something Trump does and then they bring in Hillary to the discussion, or vice versa. I'm NOT TALKING ABOUT HUGGINS. I don't get why you keep bringing him up. Whatever, it's very clear that you will never get it, so I'm giving up.
