This morning, new Iowa State men’s basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger was officially introduced for the position by Jamie Pollard in a virtual press conference. It premiered on Cyclones.tv, so I’ll link the presser as soon as it’s available on YouTube.
Jamie opened the presser with a ringing endorsement of Otz, saying he’s never seen an assistant more connected to the university than T.J. He also mentioned that Dan McCarney, Fred Hoiberg, Jon Reader, and others all reached out to Jamie to endorse Otz.
Once T.J. took the mic, the theme of the day was instantly recognizable: TJ is home, and is ready to hit the ground running.
