Not even from a community standpoint, but simply from within the locker room.
Steve Prohm, the man tasked with following up Hoiberg’s five-year act, took time out of his introductory press conference to speak directly to his team in front of fans and media members, showing that he is well on his way to winning over the locker room.
“This game isn’t about me, it’s not about the head coach, it’s about those guys right there,” Prohm said referencing the team.
“It’s your team, not mine.”
Prohm made it clear that he is not trying to replace Hoiberg.
