I'd be stunned if Hoiberg turns down that job.The NBA has been his goal for awhile now.
FIFY
Heck...it wouldn't surprise me if he "retires" a year or two at ISU - let alone going to the NBA.
Bad ticker trumps all.
We shall see my friend. Cyclone friends of mine have considered him gone for several weeks. Their only question has been Bulls or TWolves?
Agree. It's not like an NBA coach, former college coach (with success), is not going to have plenty of head coaching job offers if he ends up getting fired from the Bulls. Chances are he'll be pretty set for life with just one contract from the Bulls. NBA head coaches make pretty good money.
This is probably a safe assumption, but with GarPax, maybe this is a false assumption.
? Here is Randy Peterson's article, he's a schmuck, but he doesn't hold the position you claim. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/st...-state-cyclones-head-coach-nba-ncaa/28070991/
What are you reading?
If this is true then he won't be coaching at ISU either. Recruiting is a full time gig 365 days a year.
I don't get this thought. How is coaching in the NBA versus a major 5 college program that much worse for the heart? Yeah there is more travel; but then again no recruiting. Better health care in chicago; but no driving on the loop in Ames. Why is the NBA so much worse?
82 games vs. 30 not counting the playoffs/ncaa tourney. 41 of those 82 being on the road. NBA coaches routinely work 12-14 hr days on off days. I'm not convinced Fred takes the plunge this year. His operation was no joke. The dude was on ice for quite a while and the mental aspect of dealing with how you feel post op and for a good 6-12 months after a surgery like this is tough. I have a close friend and a family member who have both been thru it and they weren't back to full speed for a good 6+ months physically and even longer mentally.
I do wonder though if he isn't tired of dealing with the knuckleheads he's needing to bring into Ames to compete? That's got to get old. Yes the NBA has knuckleheads too but when they act up its not a reflection and indictment of the coach the way it is in college.
