This is Steve Prohm’s program. Period.

There's a few posters that are remarkedly absent.

They will be back Tuesday if ISU gets beat.

This is the truest post in the history of this site. They were all so mad two years ago, last year made them happy. Now, they’ve been all over it since Iowa city, but now winning games has them all sorts of mad.

It has been his team, but I will allow that it’s fully his team and roster now, without question.

He’s a heck of a good offensive coach, but it’s his defense that will take this program to the next level.

On Saturday, ISU had a couple of small scoring droughts/lulls. When ISU broke out of those droughts, they weren't down double digits. In both cases that I remember, the score differential stayed about the same. ISU dug in on defense when the offense struggled. I love that mentality.

Prohm is the man, period!

Him and CMC are so much alike in their "The Process" approach to coaching. Prohm maybe even more than CMC believes in this idea actually.

He's not afraid to suspend Lard and Talley for most of the non con, he's not going to try to bring Wigginton or Young back too early off of injury, and then once they were healthy- he's also not afraid to bring them off the bench until they can get up to speed and earn their playing time back. Prohm runs this team, not the players.

And although Prohm wanted to win at Iowa obviously (you want to win every game), he knows that was just one game and that game is not the end goal for this team..... they have MUCH higher goals than beating Iowa, as they should.

Everything is a "process" that ultimately will end up getting this team to where they want to be by the end of the year. Iowa on the other hand seems to put all their eggs in one basket.... just beat ISU.... that is their ultimate goal for the year. They even put guys in that game that are injured and out for the year. And after they win that, then they've accomplished their goal and regress after that.
I was at a meeting where Coach Prohm spoke, and this is exactly what he said. He started off by saying that "he is not coaching basketball players; he is developing young men." Couldn't have more proud to be a Cyclone, and remain so to this day.

Not heresy at all. That's just a fact for anybody who doesn't have their head shoved up Freddy's ass. To the posters who don't see it, there are plenty of ISU fans who find any little thing possible to criticize Prohm and somehow wind up mentioning Hoiberg in the process. It's ridiculous to anybody with half a brain but they're out there. Some are just a little more subtle than others. I have some Cyclone buddies who constantly ***** about Prohm about the most minuscule stuff. One of them flat out said he hates Prohm and wants Hoiberg back. Talks about it as if it's a legit option. The others haven't come right out and said it but I get the impression they feel the same way. Posters on this board and comments on social media have shown me there are way too many who agree with them. It's weird how obsessed people are with Hoiberg. At this point, there is no legitimate reason to want Prohm gone other than an unhealthy obsession with somebody because he grew up in Ames then played and coached at ISU. It's a great story and Fred brought the magic back but as the op said, this is Prohm's team and we're better off if you ask me.

Sounds like you have some friends who are complete f*cking morons, particularly the one who openly hates Prohm. Please feel free to tell them that on behalf of Cyclonefanatic.com.

I honestly think there is at least a handful of "fans" who would rather see the mens' basketball program completely disbanded and defunded than have anyone besides CFH lead the program. Idiots...

Very interested to see how Iowa State plays vs Baylor. Old teams might have had a hangover game. Hopefully not this year. Can’t take any days off in this league

Young people are going sometimes going to act like young people, regardless of era or staff. Overconfidence, lack of focus, etc. That stuff is still going to happen. However, at the roots of what Coach Prohm is trying to preach (sharing on offense, intensity on defense) are things that can prevent that lapse. Oh, and superior talent helps (sometimes). Our depth should also help, as someone who just doesn't have it can be sat in favor of someone who does that night.

Same with Ok St.
It’s been a long time since we had that base. Some very good seasons without it, but we’ve got a higher ceiling if that becomes an every game thing.

No classes to get in the way of staying focused. I’m feeling pretty good about this game.

You’re friends are stupid. Do better. :)
I agree that some are obsessed with Hoiberg. It’s weird. He’s been gone for a long time.
