OH HELL NO. Cyclone Twitter collectively freaked out when Fred Hoiberg’s name surfaced as a candidate to replace Thad Matta at The Ohio State University.
OK COOL. Fred Hoiberg promptly denied interest. Since the phrase “firmly entrenched” was nowhere to be found, Cyclone fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Fred Hoiberg: "Anytime your name is associated with great job, it's an honor. But I'm head coach of the Bulls/have no intention of leaving."

WAIT...WHAT? And then this happened, and Cyclone fans laughed and laughed and laughed.
