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 pointing 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.

FWIW, the lowest grade he gave anyone was a C-

Quote
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

Wow, definitely didn't disappoint.  So unbelievably Iowa-y.

Just saw myself in that video!  :excited:

I vividly remember being at the Huggs hire presser. 

I'm sure the Hoiberg one was pretty close to that.

The room was electric. So many Cyclone greats were in the room to welcome Fred home, and Cyclone Fever was rampantly spreading through the building. It was definitely worth skipping two classes to attend!!

Not sure if I posted these, but here are a few photos from the Fred Hoiberg Press Conference.

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.

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