Re: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept

Haven't read the thread, but I really hope there is some misunderstanding, because this is ******* ridiculous. Pollard better change that up with Prohm, because if we get a crap reputation for being cheap it will hurt recruiting.

Re: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept

It's funny all the people calling for Hines head now. He didn't just pull a story out of his ***, he obviously had sources and there's truth to the story.

Was it hard for you to type with two pitchforks still in your hands?

Re: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept

Exactly. He has A LOT of new people in Chicago to impress and work to do. To clear the air tells a alot.

Hines should probably change his smug looking twitter photo.

Hines is an excellent journalist and ISU fans are lucky to have him. Sounds like he got some bad info from someone who was deemed a reliable source that had an axe to grind against JP

Damn you people. I have listened to KXNO more times in the last 2 weeks (Coach MAcs interview and now this drama) than I have in the last 6 years. ugh I feel dirty

Well maybe Hines will reveal his so called sources!! If this is true though Pollard needs to go. First driving out Sanderson in Wrestling and now Hoiberg :shocked:

Re: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept

Im not an apologist for that article, but Fred is 100% professional and even if he hated how Jamie ran it, he would never say that.

ok, being professional, I can see, keeps Fred from confirming the story. But taking time in the middle of the day to make an unscheduled call to a radio show and put the story to rest? That's not professional, that's being honorable and putting a bull**** story to rest.

You probably should have read the thread.

Probably would have been a good idea to at least browse it...

Re: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept

This is why I hate that the media can get away with using "anonymous" sources. Clearly Hines didn't just make this stuff up and was told this information. The people who fed him this stuff are just as big a problem as Hines. Lets see if he grows some balls and reveals where he got his information. Probably some donors that don't like Pollard and gave their opinion on things he's done to make him look bad.

Re: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept

I can't believe how many people fell for that. Joke of an article from
the beginning.

Again, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Do you think Pollard or Fred is going to come on and say "yep, that's true!". They are going to be professional (as professional as Pollard can be).

But Fred taking time out to spend a few minutes with Murph & Andy is all I need to know. If it was even an annoyance to him, he wouldn't comment with an easy "I'm way to busy to deal with this crap" excuse.

Re: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept

We'll see how many transfers Prohm gets, or if JP is willing to pay him if he's successful. Or if it's just another great coach JP lets walk.

Re: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept

Might be a lot of crow eating on this thread.....this is why you don't jump to conclusions.
Yeah not gonna lie I am one of those people. Probably shouldn't have assumed it was all true & jumped to a conclusion. Feel dumb but whatever.

Re: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept

KXNO made Hines write the story to get Pollard and Fred on in the same show and boost ratings.

thats the only reasonable explanation.

This is true.

I'd like to hear from Hines on how much he tried to reach to JP on this story. Because from what Jamie said, he only reached out to him on monday 'wanting to talk on wednesday'. Thats not really including his side in the story.

Lets face it though. There's a reason people jumped on this story- because its believable. JP has been well-known to be cheap, and while it has benefited us in leaner times, it is why Leath had to be involved in the BB search, and why he'll probably need to be involved in the FB search in a couple months.

He should have got the other side of the story before going with it. Reporting like this story gets people fired.
