Craig Smith, Darian Devries, Kyle Keller. Any of these 3 unless Hoiberg wants to return and and wants to stay? If he could bring in some immediate great players? I'd be OK with that. (Unsure Medved would be good fit here after leaving Drake for CSU after only 1 year).
Altman, too old or still fire in the belly? He's got things going at UO. Would he consider coming to Ames?
Thad Motta. Great history yes but last 3 years at OSU not so good, was downhill and he got fired basically. Health issues maybe still with his back? He would really have to show a burning drive to return to the coaching grind and want to come here before I would believe him to be any better than up and coming younger coaches such as Smith, Keller, Devries, at this point in his un-career.
On other hand I was quite surprised when Johnny Orr came to Ames. That worked out pretty well.
I'm hoping TJ is less of a consideration. He hasn't shown to be good enough, or better than any of the above, especially at UNLV.
