Though Fred Hoiberg is now the coach of the NBA’s Chicago Bulls, it’s heartwarming to know that he has not forgotten his roots. Hoiberg was the coach of the Iowa State Cyclones prior to taking the Bulls job, and took the liberty of making a surprise appearance at his alma mater’s fantasy camp last weekend.
Per Garrett Kroeger of the Iowa State Daily, Hoiberg gave a pregame speech that despite being primarily chalk talk, some got emotional. Cyclones forward Jameel McKay posted a video of Hoiberg’s speech on Instagram, and it is indeed hard to not get a little misty.
