Actually, after Hornacek bolts back to the NBA, Fred will have won a couple NBA titles and will want to finish out his career at ISU. He comes back and we all ride off into the sunset together.
Jared Haase, UAB head coach (former Kansas player)
no thanks.. he is a dooosh. I have a friend that played against him.
They nicknamed his "Haase-Hole"
If he doesn't, he needs to be shown the door.
It's time to step up. TJ can be the fall back if needed, but Horny MUST at least be contacted.
Or back to Fred after he wins his NBA championship and just wants to return home.
Well that puts that candidate to rest then. Let us know what your friend thinks of other coaching candidates. Cant be having coaches whose names rhyme with curse words on our staff.
If Horny says no I don't think Underwood is getting proper value. His teams play a spread the floorn offense and he is a major upgrade deffensivelly. It has b=n remarkable what he has done at usfa plus has Big 12 and SEC assistant cred so knows what it takes working under Martin. and working in Texas that is a good recruiting area we under tap. I really like him as a candidate. Frankly suprise he is still available. What is his downside? He is my Hornacek fall back.
Then he needs to go back on his promise. This is about the future of ISU basketball...it's his job to put the program in the best possible position. Hiring an NBA head coach who finished 2nd in the Coach of the Year voting last year is a no brainer.
At least talk to him. Maybe Hornacek uses that offer as leverage against the Suns. Fine but at least you tried. Or maybe the Suns say "go for it, we will make a run at Thibs", and Hornacek takes the job. Either way, it's a no lose situation.
How about Mick Cronin at Cincinnati? 5 straight NCAA tournament appearances and the Big 12 would be a big step up from the American Conference.
Call #1 needs to be Hornacek. He says no comment and then immediately starts to comment. If he wasn't interested at all, he'd leave it at no comment.
Keeping an NBA style and having a coach with NBA experience who was also an All-Star would at least keep the ISU fanbase excited and give us a good chance at maintaining momentum.

Then he should be tarred and feathered because saying we have no money to pay in the top 8/10 big 12 coaches for basketball iur best sport while pouring tons of money into track and golf is neglect.
I don't know why people are acting like Pollard isn't going to talk to mutiple people. Of course he's going to contact Hornacek, among others.
You can't really talk about jobs that aren't open yet. There's rules.

Jared Hasse is the biggest joke I've ever seen.
Some cyclone fans:
Hasse beats ISU = Let's hire Hasse!
