Hoiberg earned right to accept head coaching offer from Chicago Bulls

ISU coach Fred Hoiberg waves around the net with his twin sons after Iowa State defeated Kansas 70-66 in the 2015 Big 12 Championship on March 14 at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

Brad Stevens spent six years coaching Butler’s men’s basketball team. He compiled a .772 winning percentage, and led Butler to the national championship game in consecutive seasons — 2010 and 2011. His success at Butler translated to an opportunity as head coach of the Boston Celtics, and included a six-year deal worth $22 million.

Like Stevens, Hoiberg earned the head coaching position offered to him.
