I'm not sure what you mean is she part of @Istatenation?
She's the daughter of someone in the MBB Program...
Yeah, it would be so much more unselfish for him to wait and leave once there is more of a bare cupboard to leave behind. huh????
Damn it, man. Tell her we need some real answers. None of this wishy-washy crap.
Perhaps its the ISU fan in you that thinks that way and I understand that,
But to be honest a cloud of whether he will stay or go year after year probably is not good for the long term health of the program.
There is a reason we continue to look for transfers, kids are just not sure what will be here when they come. Problem is then the transfers are used against ISU in another way when it comes to recruiting. Its a nasty cycle.
At some point the well will run dry, the NCAA is thinking of stopping the grad transfers. You need to remove that cloud of Fred's departure to the NBA one way or another
Our current best 2 players were high school recruits. We have 1 high school recruit in the last 2 years, and we got that guy cuz TJ came back.
Fred has been the master of putting together teams, but the reality is our best teams had high school guys ISU recruited at the core. Ejim, Niang, Morris.
After next season we have what 2 or 3 high school recruits on the roster as it stands now?
I jokingly told her I better be the first to find out when she knows something, she responded with, "Will you help me open my milk"
Unless you announce Otz as the one year interim Head Coach and Horny taking over at the end of next season for continuity reasons and that he will retain existing staff. Not happening but that is the only possible scenario I can think of that an interim could work. People know the next coach staff could recruit, Horny finishes out his contract at the Suns so we don't have to buy it out. We get continuity with players and system for next year. Otz gets to prove himself to potentiall be a very atractive HC for a higher level HC job in the future. Again not happening but the only possible scenario that this would conceivably make sense (that my pea brain can think of)

"Gopher steam?" No one took any of that seriously other than UofM and delusional Gopher fans. Many rational Gopher fans knew he wasn't coming. That job would've been a lateral move or step down. The T-Wolves were the bigger threat.
Fred may/probably will leave, TJ may be the next coach, but I seriously doubt your "Gopher steam" statement.
He's already got a multi-million dollar contract at ISU. If he wanted, he could walk away today and fully retire from coaching and live with the same standard of living as you and I. If he wanted to keep his same standard of living, he could finish his ISU contract and then retire still set for life.
He doesn't "HAVE" to take the job for the money. He's already a multi-millionaire. Unless he dumps his money in bad investments, he's already set for life.
The point is that a job just as attractive as this current Bulls job will come up every 2-3 years in the NBA. The compelling reason for Hoiberg to leave would be if he wants to just retire after 2-3 more years of coaching and/or as others have said he doesn't care as much about ISU as we think he does and he wants to take a chance and gamble on a long career in the NBA.
I think he's implying that @Istatenation is run by a kindergartner (which it seems to be)
Yes... a guy who was interviewing for head coaching gigs at Green Bay and Northern Kentucky is the top choice for what looks like a preseason top 5 ranked team in the nation. Sounds about right...
Did we all get used to Greg McDoormatt stinking up the joint when he literally killed the program? I don't think so.
She seems to show more professionalism than the multiple leaky "sources" we have working in our athletic department.
A source told me (may or may not know Fred's children) that Fred will for sure stay for the long term however, on Friday he will be announcing a 1 year sabbatical to coach the bulls and try to fulfill his dream of an NBA championship and then return to Ames for 2016. Otz will be interim HC.
