(Reuters) - The Chicago Bulls introduced Iowa State's Fred Hoiberg as their head coach on Tuesday, and the new helmsman said he had his heart set on a return to the National Basketball Association.

Hoiberg played 10 seasons in the NBA, including four with the Bulls, before a heart ailment ended to his playing career.

After serving in the front office of the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves he became head coach at Iowa State and compiled a 115-56 record with the Cyclones that included four consecutive NCAA tournament appearances.
