Iowa State coach Steve Prohm and his wife Katie celebrated the birth of their daughter Frances on Tuesday.
It’s the second addition to the family. The Prohms have a son, Cass, who turned 2 on March 11, the same day the Cyclones won the 2017 Big 12 Tournament.
The birth announcement drew congratulations on social media. Monté Morris, who recently finished up his accolade-filled career at Iowa State, offered to take care of Cass while Steve and Katie take care of their newborn daughter.
Congrats to @CoachProhm and his family on the new born ❤️❤️❤️. I’ll take cass for a few days a week now ☺️

The timing of the birth worked out for the family.
Katie’s due date was March 27, which could’ve caused conflicts had the Cyclones made a deep run into the NCAA Tournament.
Steve had a contingency plan in place in case Katie went into labor — assistant coach William Small would’ve taken the reins — but he never had to exercise it, as Iowa State fell to Purdue in the second round on March 18.
