Iowa State Cyclones

Iowa State, coach Steve Prohm agree to part ways after Cyclones earn just two wins in 2020-21 season

Prohm went 97-95 with Iowa State in six seasons, and the Cyclones won just two games in the 2020-21 season.

usatsi-12400368.jpg


Iowa State on Monday night announced it has come to an agreement to part ways with basketball coach Steve Prohm after six seasons. Prohm went 97-95 during his tenure and 40-68 in Big 12 play but posted a 2-22 record last season with zero of those wins coming against teams outside the major seven conference structure.

Its two wins this season were the fewest for the Iowa State program since 1924-1925.

Prohm's position as Iowa State's head coach entering the season was not considered to be in jeopardy -- he took the Cyclones to three NCAA Tournament appearances and twice led them to Big 12 tournament titles -- but being historically bad likely sealed his fate. The Cyclones became the first team to go winless in league play since TCU in 2013-14, and their 18 consecutive losses set a program record. It also capped the worst two-year stretch for the program since 1989-1991.

Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard did not comment on the firing, but Iowa State announced he met with Prohm on Monday night to deliver the news. Pollard will offer additional comments on the firing on Tuesday.

Fair Warning To All

RB07OSU
Well, these comments from 001/002 aged well. Damn near won the B1G with one of our best players down. Thank you for the ban hammer here, this dude was only here to bring negative comments. Honest criticism is fine but all he came in here to do was talk shit.

He gets banned and everything has been good on my end. Same for everyone else?

Looks like possibly another concussion for Kyle Young. I don't expect he will play tomorrow.

He's been sitting out practices to rest his body and now we're talking 3 games in 3 days on top of the head shot.

Just want him back for the NCAAs.

Ugh. When I saw him leave all I could think for most of the game is that I just want him back for March Madness. We're seriously going to need him then.

To that point, there's never a time where I don't want to beat *ichigan. But the last couple games were brutal and I worry about health and the gas tank heading into the tourney. I would be elated to beat *ichigan tomorrow and I'm rooting for that result, but if we don't? Well, I see a hell of a lot of upside to that. We're likely a 2 seed no matter what at this point. This conference is brutal and takes a toll on the body. Just see Young today. Having a fully healthy and rested team would be great (not as good as beating the team up north though).

I was actually thinking more about the PG depth. They have enough size to get by if the shots are falling. Liddel/Towns/Young aren't exactly small.

You forgot the biggest man on the team… Key. Also there is Diallo but I think we might never see him play. With regard to PG's, we currently have Walker and, in a pinch, Washington. There is also Meechie but I am not sure if I want him playing at the end of the game when it is crunch time. The only PG we have that I want to see at crunch time is Walker.

Yeah, swapping 7th round picks is a "wash". Tennessee is just unloading the remaining 3 years of his guaranteed contract.

Re: C. Dawand Jones

Just sayin': I'll bet he could have helped the "hoops team" this year, he was a pretty good basketball player in high school. He'd get his share of rebounds (and maybe blocked shots) as no opposing center would be able to muscle him away from under the basket, and he'd have 5 more fouls to give at the center position which would help keep a couple of our forwards out of foul trouble.....:nod:

PG Abel Porter (Official Thread)

Incredibly, Porter was a walk-on at Utah State until Jan. 24, 2019, when he and a teammate, Justin Bean, were awarded scholarships.

ON THE COURT
Nothing Porter does will blow anybody away. He's not a flashy player or a high-powered scorer.

But as a veteran who averaged 25.6 minutes per game as the starting point guard on a Utah State team that went 26-8 and finished last season by upsetting San Diego State to win the Mountain West tournament championship, he'll provide the Buckeyes with a steady, if unspectacular, pass-first option in its backcourt. He'll serve as a backup to CJ Walker and Duane Washington Jr., both of whom will start at guard next season.

Porter played sparingly in his first two years at Utah State before becoming a full-time starting guard midway through his redshirt sophomore season. Here's a look at the stats across his final two years as an Aggie:
  • In 2018-19: 21.6 minutes, 5.5 points, 2.8 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.4 turnovers, 42 percent shooting, 40.5 percent from 3-point range, 71.2 percent from the free-throw line
  • In 2019-20: 25.6 minutes, 5.6 points, 3.2 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 1.6 turnovers, 38.2 percent shooting, 29.7 percent from 3-point range, 76.1 percent from the free-throw line
Not once at Utah State did Porter ever lead his team in points in a single game, though he scored in double figures nine times last season. As a Buckeye, Porter will again serve as a complementary offensive piece who facilitates more than anything else. Each of the past two seasons, he had a two-to-one assist-to-turnover ratio, ranking fifth in the Mountain West in that category last year.

Porter won't impress with his athleticism or scoring acumen. But as an older-than-average fifth-year senior guard, he will give Chris Holtmann and his staff a veteran facilitator who'll be fine coming off the bench as the Buckeyes chase their ultimate goals as a team.

Mega Millions/Powerball/Idiot Tax

Feel free to share your best "blew the lottery winnings" stories. I heard a few from a CPA I know a few years back. The common theme was going spending crazy. Things like building a high school sports facility for their kid's team.

I delivered furniture in undergrad. I'm pretty sure one house we delivered to was the home of a lottery winner. One year we delivered there at least 4 times just during the summer. Every time the cost of the furniture went up dramatically and there was a new car in the driveway. And when I say a new car, I mean it was in addition the all the cars already there. Each one being more expensive than the previous ones. Oh, and the house was going through a big expansion and the construction of an inground pool. It was on a small lot too. Not sure why they didn't move.
