Official Announcement of TJ as the New Iowa State Mens BBall Coach

[CyLyte2]

Wendy was involved in the offer.

 

[RustShack]

I hope he has put together a good staff. Don’t make the same mistake as Prohm.

Now bring in Kaluma and retain the Hunter commitment.

Heavy Sigh....

 

[stateofmind]

I hope this ages as well as the Hoiberg hire thread.

 

[abcguyks]

I'm disappointed with this hire and thought we could have done better. That being said, he is our coach and he has my unwavering support.

 

[clones2005]

Can't wait to come back to this thread in two years and say "I TOLD YOU SO!"

I hope you're right. Wish I had your level of comfort.

That sound you hear is the Ames Applebee’s firing up their production equipment

me controlling my emotions as i heard the news:

I'd encourage actually watching this video. Its got kind of a weird vibe

 

[CycloneErik]

Not sure if you expected ISU to come in and spend big $'s on an unknown or some "veteran" coach. TJ represents a known and will enable an easy transition. As for $'s....they simply aren't there given the COVID year. Support the team or don't...it is what it is.

Nope. That's what we needed to do, but I expressly predicted this months ago. JP was always gonna hire his buddy.
Now the buddy has his shot. Up to him to do something with it.

 

[stormchaser]

Welcome Back!!
Let's get this ship righted.

 

[RandomFan]

Good luck to TJ! I hope he builds his staff well and puts an exciting brand of basketball on the floor!

 

[joefrog]

Wendy was involved in the offer.

Good thing we grabbed him! He almost went.......wait........nobody else was after him? Wow. Great job everyone.

 

[Gunnerclone]

I am so excited to see the classes he brings in over the next few years. Who wants to look up what Wisconsin has coming through over the next few classes because we will be in on all of the top guys.

 

[heitclone]

Pretty anticlimactic end to this situation. I'm sure I'll get on board with TJ but its kind of a bummer other options weren't explored. Feels pretty meh...almost how the Prohm hiring felt. I'm not sure why JP didn't just announce this Monday instead of lecturing the fanbase about lowering their expectations.

 

[Dandy]

I'm fine with him at the top. Hope he compiles a killer staff underneath him too.

 

[jsb]

I hope it works.

This Jamie video is pretty ******** though. I'd bet my life UNLV didn't offer a serious extension.

 

[CyLyte2]

UNLV offered extension last night.

 

[CoachHines3]

I'd encourage actually watching this video. Its got kind of a weird vibe

JP is wearing the same exact shirt under his jacket he had on the other day.

he recorded both videos the same day and there is no convincing me otherwise

 

[GetAwesome]

Welcome, TJ. Excited for our next chapter of Cyclone basketball and see what you can do on the court!

Pollard's videos this week are creepy and cringeworthy though. I can't wait to fast-forward a few months and put this week to rest. Gross.
