Yes, we know. Two Iowa State Basketball coaches have gone to the Bulls and underperformed. We get it.
Fred Hoiberg was Iowa State’s golden boy. He played in many big games during his time in Ames., then would go on to have a decent NBA career, only to be derailed by a heart issue. Ultimately he would end up in the Timberwolves front office before being called to home in 2010 by Jamie Pollard.
Hoiberg would go on to bring back Hilton Magic to the Cyclone faithful. Over a five season span, Hoiberg’s Cyclones would be right in the middle of things in the Big 12 race.
