Now that former Iowa State head coach Fred Hoiberg has made the jump to the NBA, having just agreed to become the coach of the Chicago Bulls, the university needs to name his successor. Unfortunately, it looks like that process is going to take a while.
According to CBS Sports’ Gary Parrish, AD Jamie Pollard wants to hire team assistant T.J. Otzelberger. There’s nothing to suggest that he isn’t an ideal candidate, given that he knows the team and has a reputation as a solid recruiter. Before returning to Ames this year, he also spent two seasons under Lorenzo Romar at Washington.
