good story about UAB game and hoiberg going to the Bulls

What was the time frame for this?

I only heard a slight mention of the game, and then just how Fred got his heart looked at, rumors of a plane in Ames, and then the reality that Fred's coaching wouldn't work in the NBA.

In fairness to Fred, he walked into a terrible roster setup. Nobody was going to win with scrubs like he had (in the context of pros)

The team that made the ECF the year before? The coach before him did okay with those guys. Fred was just a bad fit for that roster, it was similar to Bill Callahan forcing his west coast offense at a school that had run the option for decades.

that was it. basically fred was gone right after the game and that was it.

Ah, I thought there was something about the game specifically.

Some day I'd like to hear the details about that season like what went on with the 00-01 implosion.

Well fired coaches get a million chances in the pros so it's a wonder that he's not there and is winning 7 or 10 college games in a season.
