Group Text Shows Style, Friendship of Iowa State Coaches

Group text messages are a natural occurrence in daily life, but the coaches of the Iowa State Cyclones basketball team just took them to a new level.

A tweet by assistant coach Charlie Henry not only showcased how the coaches communicate with each other and come up with ideas for the team, but that head coach and former NBA sharpshooter Fred Hoiberg appears to be back in action after recently undergoing open heart surgery.

The NBA teams and time codes in the message are references to plays in NBA playoff games, from which Hoiberg and his staff draw ideas for plays to use with the Cyclones.
