4.) George Halcovage - Villanova

Powell is probably my number 1 with Prohm hot on his heels. Prohm’s track record with guards is insane. Cam Payne, Isaiah Canaan, Tyrese Haliburton, Talen Horton Tucker. Guard league and he develops guards. Have we ever had a coach that could point to the NBA like that?

Then it’s been too damn long. Not saying we need NBA players constantly, but it’s been a while since we had one. DAP flirted and had a cup of coffee in the NBA.

We need a Jackie Carmichael.

I just want to turn the program around

We need a Jackie Carmichael.

We need a lot more than that. Number 1 is someone to teach this talented roster to win. So many close losses. Learning to win is a big part of it.

Prohm would be a hard no for me. I live in Iowa, and saw what Iowa State basketball turned in to under Prohm. They won 2 games last year and zero conference games. He seemed like a good man that couldn't handle a bigger stage.

 

[ISUBird]

Mark Tuergeon, Roger Powell, and Steve Prohm were my votes. I aM cautious about Roger Powell for never having been a head coach and Steve Prohm because of how his team collapsed his last year at Iowa State. I am really curious about how that happened.

I worry that Chris Jans would get into Reggie Lynch territory with off campus activities while here. Maybe unfair but that would be my worry.

It’s tough. Because do you hire a newbie that is a huge risk considering how much work our program needs? Do you hire a broken but once great coach that needs rehabilitated? Or do you cash out the money and get a safe pick? 2/3 is high risk- high reward.

Jans' restructured contract takes effect today (April 14, 2021) and features the same $290,000 base salary as he was paid in the 2020-21 season. His retention bonus, however, increases from $216,000 to $294,000. Another additional piece to the new contract states a sum of $72,500 will be distributed between Jans and the other coaches on his staff. The $72,500 was made available by donors to the NM State men's basketball program.

If I understand this correctly Jan’s is making in the ballpark of 600k? Would imagine to get him ISU would have to offer something significant above that.. 650, 700k? Are those funds in the budget?

If he were the only option, maybe. But, I think we can get a coach who is as good or potentially better, for less risk.

I don't see Triple G being in the picture.

Wasn't Jans' issue in bowling green or wherever it was like 20 years ago? He's probably not as horny anymore.
