Justin Hamilton said he left because of Robinson.

Someone (you?) posted the same thing the other day, and that was the first I’d heard of it. They both left at about the same time. Is this just from message board rumblings circa 2010, or?

Hamilton accused him of being racist toward white players.

Really outstanding local assistant may be coming to TJ's staff. Kyle Green who by all accounts is both great recruiter and coaches big men at UNI. I know people will wonder if A.J. will follow him, but I think this would be an great addition to our staff regardless of AJ. Great basketball mind who would fit in well in Ames. Time will tell if this is TJ's choice, but I will be excited if he is one of the new coaches.

"may be coming" ? Geez, I hope you know what you are doing and that this is true now because you broadcasting it here will give it a life of it's own and I hate for fans to be teased and/or disappointed if it doesn't happen. Having said that, thanks for sharing the info and I'm sure you have a reason for posting it. I would like this hire. Always impressed with UNI's big man development.

Even when there is mutual interest you never know...for that matter what I have heard may be wrong so hence the "may"

Looks to have connections to Minnesota, which is huge. The MSP area has been absolutely loaded with talent lately, and if we could make some inroads there it would benefit us.

Plus the new guy at Minnesota was a pretty low profile hire (though he might turn out to be good) and they already lost their best players. Minnesota staying down would be great benefit to TJ and his new staff.

While not a 'wow-hire', I thought that was the new hire's biggest asset...Minn guy and great recruiter/connections. I would have rather they hired someone from Montana. lol

Actually Justin Hamilton said he just wanted to get a school closer to his home in California. And said he enjoyed his time and the Coaching Staff at Iowa State. Wanted to be closer to California and Home. So Justin transferred to Louisiana State.

Why didn’t the Gophers hire Craig Smith. Instead they hired a Guy with No Head Coaching Experience. Gopher University President should have gotten involved.

They are paying him like 1.3 million a year. Don't think Craig Smith would have gone for that.
