Before we get too much into the intricacies of Iowa State’s offensive woes this season, I think it’s important to take a look at where this team stands against other Prohm-coached teams. Steve Prohm is a huge proponent of instituting offensive principles rather than strict sets that allows his players to operate with a lot of freedom.
This freedom could be a positive or a negative depending on how the players utilize the principles and select their shots. If players are out “looking to get theirs” or are settling for bad shots when they’ve identified a mismatch, it’s going to go poorly.
