You know times are tough when you ask a Kindergarten daughter of one of the ISUMBB Coaches at your school if he's staying or going.

I don't think Fred is the team player everyone thinks he is. Team players don't leverage your school for three consecutive years for big raises. Team players don't flirt with Minnesota. Team players don't hurt their recruiting abilities by not communicating to potential recruits. Team players don't stop communication with their bosses and leave everyone wondering what the hell is going on for several weeks.

I love Fred and hope he decides to stay for a long time. But he's in this for himself first and ISU a distant second. I think that much is obvious now. Not that there is anything wrong with that because every other coach does the same thing. But let's not pretend Fred will protect/think about ISU's best interests before his own.

100% true. Someone needed to post this.

It is the freaking Bulls....it isn't like he is leaving for the Bucks. Even if the Bulls were dead last in the league, this isn't a job Fred can turn down.

Yes he can. That job will be open in 3 yrs again...even with fred as the coach. It's rare for a cosch to last more than two years with a team. Maybe he just wants to coach a few more years then be done. I can assure u this, that Bulls team will look totally different in two years and not in a good way. An absolutely big mistake IMO...one Fred really has never made to this point in his career.

She couldn't say one way or another just that she's heard her dad talking about it and said there's a chance he wont be coach here anymore or a chance he could be. So pretty much I got nothing out of it, will try again tomorrow.

If fans get angry at him for leaving, I don't want to be a Cyclone fan anymore. We can be sad, but no need to dislike the guy for pursing his dream and bringing ISU basketball back on the map. Will it stay there? That's the part we can all panic about.


The problem is his selfish jump to the NBA which could wait a year kills what could have been a great season next year with a top 5 team coming back. Without Fred we get dropped to a top 20 team at best.

Ridiculous. I love how some people are applying standards to Hoiberg that they themselves couldn't even uphold.

Like I am supposed to believe that when you're negotiating your own raise, you look out for your employer?

So what? Fred can sign a ginormous guaranteed contract and be set for life after the Bulls go in another direction in 2-3 years as you say they will/might.

Fred HAS to take the job and the money. Period.
