And now the Hoiberg Watch truly begins.
All the talk, stories and worrying within Cyclone Nation about Iowa State men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg and the Chicago Bulls was just the warm-up act. The Bulls fired coach Tom Thibodeau on Thursday. The main event is starting.
Don’t expect the Hoiberg courtship to be a long, drawn out process. It could be over as quickly as a game of speed chess. It will certainly take less time than it took for Chicago to move on from Thibodeau.
The Bulls dismissing Thibodeau is no surprise. National reports speculated on it for months.
