Re: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept

So...the real question is what happens now?
So assuming that the article has all the holes in it like JP says it does, nothing wrong was done but leaves a huge black eye on ISU athletics even if completely untrue. Such an ISU thing to happen to us.

Hoiberg to be on next.



If Hoiberg and Pollard are telling the same story, makes you wonder if Hines jumped the gun.

I'm interested what we hear next.

Pollard provides a decent rebuttal, enough so that Hines has some things to answer for.

Sounds like Hoiberg also calling it a BS article.

Re: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept

If Fred comes out and backs up JP's story....then Hines looks like an *******. Problem is.......the perception is already out there now, and unfortunately, the national reporters covering and re-tweeting the "juicy" story are not likely to give the same coverage to JP's or Fred's comments. Damage is done. It sucks.

Re: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept

Damage done...tweets going out nationally....looks bad....we'll see if they pick up if Fred clarifies.

Has anyone retweeted updates/corrections to these tweets?

Fred on now.

"Zero issues" with Pollard's handling of the basketball program.

Talked two days ago about families. Bonded by heart issue. Have a great relationship with him and thank him for that.

Re: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept

Travis may not be long for the Trib regardless. He'll either move up or down...or maybe laterally, but I don't think he'll be in town. He has either done really great work on this story or really crappy work.

The noon checkout for a 6PM flight is easily proven, and he led with that making it seem like he forced the team to sleep in a hotel lobby to save a few pennies. Given that, I'm going with "really crappy work".

Might be a lot of crow eating on this thread.....this is why you don't jump to conclusions.

Hines is a clown. He should be fired immediately for this garbage. Desperate times at the Ames Tribune.

Travis might want to pack his bags and revise his resume, he just ****** on the hand that feeds him.
