DES MOINES — Iowa State basketball coach Steve Prohm has been focused on decision making off the court with his team. Cyclone players begin returning to campus this week amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prohm says it is important for the players to make good decisions when it comes to their health.

Prohm says they have a good plan to keep the players healthy.

UNI and Drake players returned to campus last month. Panther coach Ben Jacobson says two of his players tested positive. Both are fine and expected to rejoin voluntary workouts soon.

Jacobson says staying healthy is critical as organized workouts are scheduled to begin later this month.

Jacobson says player decisions affect the entire team.

Drake coach Darian DeVries says the Bulldogs have been following protocol.

DeVries says the Bulldogs have been tested several times.

DeVries says all college programs are learning as they go through this process.
