If he would have followed that TH/THT class with another good one, he'd still be coaching here. You just can't sign one really good class and then coast for a few years with role players. Those really good players are going to declare as soon as they possibly can. Prohm really struggled with that. You really need to have a plan on what you're going to do if any player leaves after the season. To me, it was pretty obvious that THT was likely gone after that Maui tournament.
I'm too lazy to go look it up, wasn't Wigginton in the class following that one? Or was he in the class before that?

one before. Lindell's freshman year was that first really bad season under Prohm with Beverley

Oddly that season showed more promise than the next 3 since ISU at least at times came out and showed glimpses of the future with how Lard and LW would play together.

That team wasn't very good, but they were dogs. Pulled off big wins against top ten Texas Tech, ranked WVU and Oklahoma (with Trae Young) and a solid Baylor team. Still got their asses beat by Milwaukee, which is unforgivable.

But many blamed Hoiberg for it until the end.

Remember when many here were delusional and thought the Prohm discontent was because he wasn’t Hoiberg? Lol.
You‘re joking right? initially that was a huge chunk of people, obviously that evolved as the years went on. I’m not sure if you forgot how obsessed people were about Hoiberg, but it was unlike anything I’ve seen before.

Who cares? Prohm is gone. Good luck to him. Prohm is not a victim. His failures determined his fate. He was paid extremely well for a job poorly done. Prohm should have no complaints. His defenders need to move on. We have a new Coach now.

Would be nice to move on but nobody seems to have anything to say about the new coach

WOW. You still haven’t moved on from Hoiberg, have you?

Yeah, it wasn’t because he was clearly a mediocre coach or anything, adding little value to the program. One with a floor of 2-22. Or you think he just became an inferior P6 coach after 6 years on the job? If he got worse after 6 years of on the job training, good god, he’s a complete failure and deserving of all hate.

The people most obsessed with Hoiberg are the ones that STILL refuse to see criticism and hate for a coach like Prohm for anything other than being for Prohm. Any coach that inherits what Prohm did is going for to be scrutinized, and when they make bad moves and show signs they’re inferior, you should expect hate.

You’ve gotta let Hoiberg go.
