La Gesse Column: Next in the Hoiberg Watch: Cyclone Nation getting extremely worked up over silence

There was no news about the Chicago Bulls. The future of coach Tom Thibodeau wasn’t decided. Iowa State men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg didn’t utter a word.

Nothing happened on Tuesday, yet the silence was deafening. It was too much for some to take, as if it was conveying an unstated message. Concern and worry pouring out of parts of Cyclone Nation led to fretting, and yard signs imploring the men’s basketball coach to stay.

The ISU fan base is on edge, but right now the angst is nothing more than wasted energy. Nothing has gone down.
