Was an assistant for the Timberwolves for like six months, then went into the front office.  I think he was "assitant vice president of basketball operations" or some fake title like that.  Hoiberg is a hometown kid...the real equilvant would be Jordy playing for the Packers for 10 years as a role player, taking an office job with the Chiefs for a  year and then becoming our head coach when we are at the bottom of the league.

Great Hire

1. If Grayer, Nurse, and Hoiberg are at ISU, then many of the good in-state players will stay here.
2. I bet he runs an up-tempo offense which will help with ticket sales (remember Hilton Magic?) and recruiting.
3. You can’t win over the long-term in Ames without loving ISU.

He may not have coaching experience, but there simply was not a better hire out there.

The best equivalent would've been hiring Henson after Wooly.  Except Henson had actually been a basketball coach.  Of course he would've had no one on staff like Otzelberger to keep around, but still.  Hilarious choice for the Cyclones, and leave it to Cyclone fans to be pleased with the hire.

It's intriguing. When a coach treats basketball like nuclear physics, we get what happened in the Greg McDermott experience at Iowa State. Fred knows enough basketball, and if you saw his playing days, is very intense and a great motivator. Still wanted Billy Clyde, but Fred Hoiberg is the new coach at Iowa State and there is no way in hell I don't give him a chance and unwaivering support. Once a Cyclone, Always a Cyclone.

Iowa State just hired a guy who doesn't even have head coaching experience at the high school level, and they lost their former coach to an MVC school.  If there's a less appealing job in the Big 12, let me know.

F8cking sad day for Iowa State.  A coach you decided to give one more year to, a blind leap of faith imo, snubs you for a MVC school.  A friggin' crappy private school in the hood of a smelly rusty railroad town.  

What do you say if you bleed cardinal and urine?  There is no defense for what happened.  Then to top it off they hire the f8cking Mayor.  God it would be awful to be affiliated with that university right now.

Just think if we had kept Prince for a 4th year, but before that year started he decided to take a job at Tulsa or something.  :facepalm:

F8cking sad day for Iowa State.  A coach you decided to give one more year to, a blind leap of faith imo, snubs you for a MVC school.  A friggin' crappy private school in the hood of a smelly rusty railroad town.  

What do you say if you bleed cardinal and urine?  There is no defense for what happened.  Then to top it off they hire the f8cking Mayor.  God it would be awful to be affiliated with that university right now.

Just think if we had kept Prince for a 4th year, but before that year started he decided to take a job at Tulsa or something.  :facepalm:

prob would have re-hired snyder

if he can get players, he will succeed.  not a tough formula for success at sports, basketball especially.

yeah, this can't be repeated enough.  basketball's an easy game. 



Yep... which is why UNC was so successful last year with seven McDonald's All-Americans, and K-State made the Elite Eight with one. 

Retards are going to use the UNC anomaly to justify horrible recruiting for years to come.



Not trying to justify "horrible recruiting," just point out that there's more to coaching basketball than getting talent.  If you people still don't understand that after last season, God help you.

Look at UNC's competition - everyone in the ACC recruits their asses off.  People overrate UNC's recruiting because their recruits get named McDAA's when they probably shouldn't, and also ignore the fact that they were young.  You are definitely justifying horrible recruiting.

IOWA STATE

The Old: Greg McDermott
The New: Fred Hoiberg

Oh, boy. I’ve heard good things about Hoiberg, but I’m always weary of an NBA guy making the transition to the college ranks, especially one who hasn’t coached a game at any level. Thankfully, he retained assistant T.J. Otzelberger — one of the top young recruiters in the business — but he takes over a difficult situation.

Grade: C

A Message from Head Mens Basketball Coach Fred Hoiberg... (beginning at our new practice facility :excited:)

If you were a real ISU fan you would stab Pollard through his cold black heart with a ceremonial dagger for destroying a campus legend.

Nah, he goes to my church. That could create tension amongst my parish community.

Lots of diversity in those pics.

first thing i noticed too. some of the middle age white people are wearing maroon shirts. some are wearing sweater vests. others are wearing gold shirts with maroon on them and some are even wearing white button downs with both maroon and gold.

They allowed the one all-american guy to mix with the non-all-americans.  :dunno:

They will have problems, but not the worst.  There have been some dreadful teams from Baylor, Colorado, and aTm during the Big 12.  TA's last year was a really bad team too.  Most of those teams quit on their coaches and I don't think Iowa State will do that, so they'll be competitive even without a ton of talent and win 2-3 games in the league.

AMES, Iowa -- Iowa State forward LaRon Dendy plans to transfer, the fourth significant loss to the Cyclones' frontcourt this spring.

New coach Fred Hoiberg announced Dendy's departure Tuesday. Dendy averaged 7.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game as a junior last season.

Justin Hamilton transferred from the team after the season. Forward Marquis Gilstrap's appeal for an extra year of eligibility was denied by the NCAA and forward Craig Brackins has declared for next month's NBA draft.

Hoiberg also says guard Antwon Oliver won't return next season. Oliver redshirted as a freshman in 2009-10.

They will have problems, but not the worst.  There have been some dreadful teams from Baylor, Colorado, and aTm during the Big 12.  TA's last year was a really bad team too.  Most of those teams quit on their coaches and I don't think Iowa State will do that, so they'll be competitive even without a ton of talent and win 2-3 games in the league.

be pretty tough to top melvin watkin's 0-16 gem.

At this rate, Haverhill is going to be the starting point guard for Iowa State next season. 


Expected Demi/Ashton appearances at Hilton are gonna blow the shazbot! out of our expected Lachey appearances.




Just imagine the buzz when Haverhill and Little White Pig Boy square off in the Iowa State/Oklahoma State matchup.

Yeah, will be a good day to watch bball all day froggot.




Wow... that comment is burned in your brain for the rest of your life.  I apologize for all the damage I've done.

Yeah, I wrote it down to use at times like this after I finally got my own example of your personality disorder LSOC told us all about. 

For those who weren't there, during the North Texas game, BMW was in goEMAW chat interjecting himself with ku stats or something.  Chings et al were pointing out what a goofball he was and BMW kept getting angry.  I eventually asked why he was intently watching the EMAW game and participating in goEMAW chat - keep in mind, this is BMW who loves to assert his theory that EMAWs are obsessed w/ku - when it was a beautiful day out, and he responded by telling me that day was his christmas and that he'd be "watching bball all day man of taste and distinction".  We all lol'd.  Ben used the chat pm function to apologize and say he said that out of character, not that any of us gave a eff, and then he sent me the following regular pm titled "Just wanted to apologize again":

Totally went against my normal behavior and said something stupid.  Nothing personal... I was just irritated with Chingon.  Sorry again, Trim.  I'm leavin' for OKC in a bit and I hope I can buy you a beer or somethin when I get down there.

eff, I just realized BMW shafted me out of a beer!

Sometimes you've got to get worse before you get better.  Good job "The Mayor".

This all has to be some ISU academic conspiracy to rid their school of BB.

iowa state right now is what kstate would've been if kstate would've hired steve henson or some other loser three years ago. things will be awkward for all involved when they have to fire him in a few years. going to be just amazing to watch as an innocent bystander though.

Yeah, this could not be going better

I did not mock ISU for the hire, their program was absolutely in the toilet when they hired him so why not. But before we get the ticket tape parade ready he just won back to back road games for the very first time and it's been almost five full seasons and his best conference finish is tied for 3rd. I think he gets more credit than he deserves because of their style of play but you legitimately have to question if that style of play is placing a low ceiling on what they can accomplish.

He is about to follow up a 3rd place Big 12 finish with (at least) a 2nd place finish. He's got a Sweet 16. He's recruited some pretty good HS players and his use of the college version of free agents has been fantastic. I think he's getting better every year and as long as he doesn't jump to the NBA, ISU is going to be a great program for years to come. I understand why you dislike Iowa State and their fans, but Hoi is really good; maybe the 2nd best coach in this league right now.

Really?  They won the conference tournament championship and made the sweet 16 last season (without taking into account Niang's injury).  That doesn't seem all that ceilingy.  He's making solid progress.  12th to 3rd to 4th to 3rd with better postseason results and now he's in 2nd with four very winnable games left. 

Last year was their best year and this year is looking better. :confused:

My dislike for ISU has nothing to do with the factual arguments I made. He has won back to back road games once in five seasons, once. And I'm not sure why we're giving him second place but even if they do ISU isn't close to being considered a great program. Was Missouri great under Norm Stewart? Because if ISU builds up to that they should be happy. Five seasons isn't a small sample size, they've been okay in five seasons. Having to replace 3 starters every season and not playing any defense is absolutely risky and I'm sot sure that is the correct formula to becoming great.

The road wins, roster flux, and defense are legit points.

Still, having Top 10 offenses every year and playing at a fun pace would be fun to watch as a fan. Plus he's won a tournament game every year he's been there, which is nice. He's basically on track to building a similar program to what Frank built here.

I really don't take any stock in winning the conference tournament, it means you were one of the best four teams in the conference. Don't get me wrong I wish we had one but I don't think it should be used as a measurement on how good your program is. Their record the past four seasons has been in descending order, currently 10-4, 11-7, 11-7, 12-6. They will finish with either 5 or 6 losses this year, they have been amazing steady. They don't play defense, they don't win road games, and they turn over their roster every single year. It's reasonable to wonder if this is what they are. I didn't say they were bad but I question just how much better they'll be.
