Matt also said he goes through 2-3 chapsticks a day so maybe they have a sedative effect.
He somehow kept his emotions in check for senior speeches, although he was choked up talking about Deonte. I was weeping from Deonte on out.

They caught him on TV applying chapstick and I started laughing. Coach has to have soft lips.
Love that scene. As I was reading the post you quoted, it was running through my head as well.
I agree, Prohm definitely doesn't lack emotion. There was a moment last night, I believe in the 2nd half, where he was emphatically jumping up and down on the sideline with his arms raised, then turned around and gave a big fist pump. It was right after we hit a big shot, but I couldn't tell if he was excited or if he was trying to get someone's attention and then was mad when he couldn't. My buddy and I both saw it and commented on how animated he was. Loved seeing that kind of passion out of Prohm.
Also, late in the first half when we were trading buckets with OSU, we hit a nice shot and PRohm wanted to use his use it or lose it timeout to setup the defense (I think it was around 1 minute to go in the first half). He was jumping up and down trying to get the timeout and didn't get and and was pissed jumping around. It was funny.
He is constantly licking his lips. The one quirk I've noticed before Matt called him out on his chapstick usage.
There is a time and a place to get a technical as a coach. Underwood's last night was the epitome of when not to. ISU had just pushed it open to a 6 point lead, largest in a while I believe, and Underwood got a little too heated. The ref was probably quick to give him that T, but still you have to know time and situation as a coach. I would look to Fred Hoibergs first technical ever at Iowa State. IIRC, he did that when the team was down and in a rutt against KU in the Big12 tourney semi's. He got fired up, got the tech, and then cooled down talked to his guys and they went out and finished out the win.
Prohm is a level-headed guy from all accounts (i think it is something in his soothing chap-stick) and I like that from a coach. I would rather have a calm demeanor on the sidelines who can get fired up when it is need, but is the steady hand at all other times.
Underwood isn't a bad coach for what he did, but it certainly did not help his teams chances at the time.

If getting T's in basketball is anything like getting ejected in baseball, usually it comes after you call the ref a ****sucker
I could certainly be wrong, but the 1st half last night was as animated as I think I've ever seen Prohm working the officials.
I think Steve is a lot louder and more animated than Fred ever was when he yells out plays to players during the game. Lord you can hear him on TV.
Goes to show both can work.
But there was nothing better than Larry going BANANAS and Jared Homan having to hold him back. THE BEST.
As fast as that T came out I am guessing he used "you" in his assessment of the officiating.
However... I am just going to pretend he really did call the official a **** sucker... its funnier that way.
Not really. He got a T last night for being out of control, and almost got 2. Perfect example.

That T was the best, since it was for coming out onto the court to huddle during a timeout. Probably won't see that variation of a T again.
IIRC he actually did a Floyd-era taking the coat off and actually yelling.
He'd dropped the last 5 games to KU and it felt like it was now or never to put a stop to it.
Would have to look it up. ISU ended up pulling away to win that game and I remember thinking the players probably had no other choice if FRED went crazy, ha ha.

Monte talking about his Grandad teaching him how to be a man........... Holy cow
