Fred Hoiberg coached a basketball game on Tuesday night. That fact in and of itself isn't particularly newsworthy. After all, Fred Hoiberg is a basketball coach and coaching games is what he does. But Tuesday marked the first time Hoiberg coached a team other than Iowa State (which is admittedly depressing as hell to type).
There are welcome to the NBA moments and then there's what Hoiberg encountered in the United Center as he made his Chicago Bulls coaching debut. As if squaring off against the best professional athlete on the planet in Lebron James wasn't enough, Barack Obama sat courtside to take in the action.
