Jeff Rutter to Drake, tidbit on his replacement

The news is now official. 

Jeff Rutter, who has served as Iowa State’s Director of Basketball Operations for the last three seasons and an assistant coach for the four years prior, is joining new Drake coach Ray Giacoletti. Rutter will be an assistant coach on the new-look Bulldog coaching staff. 

As Cyclone Fanatic reported on Monday, ia source close to the situation tells us that some sort of a combination between current Director of Player Development Micah Byars and graduate assistant Charlie Henry will man Iowa State’s ops department in 2013-14. 

Iowa State has still not confirmed that news at this time.

Chris was hired as Cyclone Fanatic’s publisher in the fall of 2009. He is Iowa State football's postgame show host on the Cyclone Radio Network and can be heard daily from 4-7 on Des Moines' top-rated sports station, 1460 KXnO. Williams, a 2007 graduate of Iowa State’s Greenlee School of Journalism, is the former publisher of the old CycloneNation.com (Scout.com). He has also written for the Des Moines Register, the Ames Tribune, CycloneReport.com and is the former sports director at KMA Radio. When Williams isn’t working, you can usually find him doing something outdoors with his wife Ashley, daughter Camryn, and Golden Retriever Dierks. He enjoys golfing, boating, country music, the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Braves and is passionate about any and all motor sports so finding Williams at a local dirt track is very common.
