Honestly, I do too. ISU and its fans deserve a winner. This hiring PROCESS is not indicative of an organization chasing championships.
Official Announcement of TJ as the New Iowa State Mens BBall Coach
- Thread starter werdnamanhill
- Start date
I think this clip from the press release could (or should) allay some concern about this last year with UNLV:
"The 2020-21 roster included 10 players (seven freshmen), who had never played a game for UNLV. A 33-day break due to COVID-19 and losing its captain and starting point guard in January were other challenges that Otzelberger navigated. With the youthful roster, a month-long break from practice and competition and a season-ending injury to a team leader, UNLV endured four one-possession defeats to finish in the middle of the MWC."

Should have mentioned that they didnt crash a plane in the process.
Anyone that doesn't think that is ******** is really ******* stupid.
I'm pretty sure his closet is just those red and white checkered dress shirts.
If you can get away with it and the rubes buy it, why not? I mean, news hit that night, right?
So can we start to talk about which recruits he might be bringing with him? I thought I saw one of his 4 star recruits was a teammate of Nunn, who I’m assuming is still coming.
Hilton will be a cheap cozy place the next few years.
not surprised at the hire, I really really really want it to work out
"UNLV is laughing at us!!" said uninformed posters....
"UNLV wanted to keep TJ and offered him an extension to stay" says Pollard in that video.

Welcome home, TJ! I understand the skepticism, but some of y’all are EMBARRASSING.
I didn't think Hoiberg was a good hire and think the same about TJ. Sweet 16 here we come!
I'm currently not too excited about basketball, but once TJ starts filling out the roster excitement will build. I hope he's really successful here.

I am going to say this will either be a successful hire or a failure. Just getting that out there for the 5 year thread bump.
