Men’s Basketball: Hobbs joins ISU staff as special assistant to the head coach

Former Alabama head coach David Hobbs was hired as the Iowa State men’s basketball special assistant to the head coach, ISU announced in a statement on Wednesday.

Hobbs replaces Neill Berry in that role. Berry was named an ISU assistant coach earlier this off-season.

Hobbs, a 26-year coaching veteran, was the head coach at Alabama from 1992-98. ISU men’s basketball coach Steve Prohm served as an Alabama manager under Hobbs. Hobbs went 110-76 with the Crimson Tide.

“It is great to be adding coach Hobbs to our staff,” said Prohm in a statement. “I’ve had a relationship with him for more than 20 years so there is a familiarity there.
