Official Announcement of TJ as the New Iowa State Mens BBall Coach

[SolarGarlic]

i dont think either steve or fred enjoyed the action, they both got nervous in game and it showed on the players

tj loves the action, like izzo, from what i can tell

One of the main talking points during Hoiberg's tenure was his calm demeanor kept his players calm. Prohm's body language was awful. And don't get me started on his contrived motivational technicals. Hoiberg's style worked because it was his personal identity. Prohm never had one.

The Ice Age

Already booking March 9-13th 2022 in KC for our tourney run. Hilton South is about to be reborn

I hope TJ does so well that the Bulls WANT to hire him in 4 years, but don’t because they know the feedback of hiring a 3rd Iowa State coach would be too brutal

The Bucks is his real dream job.

I'm in the market for 2021-2022 season tickets. Can I buy yours? Anyone other doom and gloomers. I'm looking to buy their season tickets. PM plz

Why didn't you buy in two years ago when they were available then?

 

[acody]

Good thing we grabbed him! He almost went.......wait........nobody else was after him? Wow. Great job everyone.

Did ISU interview anyone else? If not, this is really a disappointing hiring process.

 

[8bitnes]

I will like this hire a lot more with Lutz returning to Ames. Think he is a fantastic assistant. Can we find a coach that can teach post play? Not a stretch 4, and actual post. Or, be still my heart, a double post? Can you imagine having flexibility depending on matchups and cold 3 point shooting nights? Or being actually good and focused on rebounding, which is where you actually win the close games?

I read the Lutz comments as him seeking a head job and not another asst role

 

[WhoISthis]

The Bucks is his real dream job.

Sign me up for TJ landing the Bucks job in 2026

Prohm never seemed to have concrete ideas, just spoke with cliche after cliche.

If TJ can give thoughtful answers in post game interviews and if he can keep the ball from sticking in a players hands for long stretches, I'm in

Cyfan92 is because I was born in 92. Since that season I have student loans paid off, received a promotion and pay increase. The same for mrs cyfan92. Not many season ticket holders I imagine are under 30. But I'm ready to jump now

He wasn't an assistant like a regular assistant.

"When I agreed to join Fred at Nebraska as Special Assistant, there was positive momentum in the NCAA for allowing an additional person to actively coach during practice and games. That has not happened."

 

[knowlesjam]

Calm the **** down, my goodness. So many of you acting like children. Holy **** this fan base sometimes.

Many already in the surrender cobra position...not even giving them a shot. Many on here were crapping on the school when Fred was hired.

After boosting the football staff salaries, COVID reductions, etc. there just isn't the option of spending big $'s. Hell, our annual athletic revenue is $56M smaller than Iowa's...the difference alone is 2/3rd's of our entire revenue stream. Hard to even compete with that.

So Jamie went with someone that is familiar with the university, isn't going to cost an arm and a leg, and could even succeed. Should Jamie have gone with a hot mid-major? The Utah State coach is already in a bidding war between Minnesota and Utah, both of which have greater revenue streams than Iowa State. How about an assistant coach...high risk/reward. Jamie pushed the easy button and the program can now move forward.

Alright, which one of you is Mike on M&A right now?

 

[baagoe]

Time for TJ to get back on twitter too so us recruiting nerds can track who he follows

 

[harimad]

Oh, well. Could see this bad idea coming months ago.
Welcome or something.

Nothing personal, but I really hope I can come back in a couple of years and laugh at this as a hot take. We need something good for a change for this program.

Recruiting nerds, social media stalkers... same thing.

Also need to find out who Bob is as well..

Sorry, I didn't get your weird take on the video....
