Report: T.J. Otzelberger headed for Iowa State

[Statefan10]

What a joke if it’s T.J. ISU will continue being a bottom feeder with him at the helm. His UNLV team this last year was just as poorly coached as ISU’s. Looked to be coached by the same guy. This is Jamie hiring his buddy and not looking out for the basketball program. T.J. will get the recruits, but they will be badly coached. He’s literally Prohm 2.0, but a slightly better recruiter. What a ******* joke.

No it wasn’t lol

More or less like the Campbell Hire. Find the right Coach. Do it.

Honestly, I get this. Pollard focused only on Campbell and it worked out. Hell, it worked out so well that I think he should be allowed to make a stupid pick with TJ to keep campbell happy.

But with Campbell, pollard talked with industry people. He talked to other coaches. HE WAS NOT FRIENDS WITH CAMPBELL.

With TJ, no one nationally is saying TJ is some future star. No other power 5 wants to hire him. Jamie is purely trusting his gut because they are friends.

I love it! I think he will be great! As you know, I’ve been predicting this for months. Long live TJ and his mediocre record in the mountain west. But it’s ok because he won in South Dakota with a generational player.

Daum is a generational player? He's playing for Monbus Obradoiro lol

A generational player that was Conference Player of the Year.....that couldn’t make the NBA. Trying to figure out if it is better to have a Lottery Pick like TH who had the talent but Prohm couldn’t convert that into wins. Or a Coach who utilizes a player‘s talent and develops it and makes them the best they can be and making the team better?

Oh, I wouldn’t. I’m being a real *******. What we should all hope for is in 2 years, these posts are being revisited.

im on your side

The choice want TJ or prohm. Of course you take TJ over prohm today. There are other coaches alive.

id say a generational player for that league.

i think there are a lot of 'generational' players in the NCAA that don't translate over to the pros very well.

Wow! I go to bed for a good night's sleep and BAM wake up to 42 pages in less than 12 hours. How can anyone wade through so much? ... just to catch up. I'd love to hear a 'summary' of what's transpired.

Lots of moaning, groaning, screaming...everything a great sex moment has... but not this thread.

Generational player is a little extreme. He was HM All American

How many HM all Americans does that league have?

yeah, may be.

very very very very very good

So is this confirmed yet? KCCI headline says TJ to replace Prohm but then the article says COULD replace Prohm.

 

[Statefan10]

In that league he is.

Nate Wolters for SDSU was just like Mike Daum and he played his last year in 2013.. He played 5 seasons in the NBA.

Don’t get me wrong, Daum was good, but SDSU has had similar talent.

TJ will go down as one of the greatest coaches in ISU history

It’s not confirmed. But there are plenty of national guys going with it.

And they only backed off that it was signed. They all still say it’s esstentislly a done deal.

I think so!

Okay I don’t hate the hire but come on lol.

Without looking it up or researching I'd say George Hill was and Wolters made second or third team All American

Ok! I was wrong. TJ took a team with nothing and became a National power. My mistake!
