I just wanted to start a thread to thank the man for some very exciting times during his tenure. He brought Cyclone basketball back from the doldrums and turned us into a regional power and Big 12 contender. He showed class at all times and was a great Cyclone in every way. I'm very sad to see him go, honestly miss having him as our head coach even as I'm typing this, but I hope he takes Chicago to more NBA titles and success. Even as their coach, he is a representative of the Cyclone Nation and he will ever remain our Mayor. None of us should blame a man for following his dream, and Fred has had the good fortune and tremendous work ethic to follow TWO of his dreams...much to the benefit of Cyclone and Bulls fan.
The Iowa State Mens basketball program will move forward to bigger and better things, and it will remain Fred who was the man to launch us to that level. The next coach will take up where Fred left off, and we will continue to rival Kansas for the Big 12 crown year in and out. In fact, we will take that crown off their head next season and shove it up their tailpipe....but I digress. Good luck to you Fred, and the best wishes of all good Cyclone fans go with you. Hoiball!
