Hoiberg fired from the Bulls

Out of bounds plays are an easy way to see a coaches talent. Prohms teams have consistently struggled to even get the ball in bounds in pressure situations. When is the last time one of those plays successfully created an opportunity to score right away. Good offensive coaches should be able to draw up a play to go get points. Is that what the majority of the game is? No, absolutely not but if we have 5 seconds in the game with the ball out of bounds down 1 I don’t feel confident we get a good look.

Are we sure that's not a myth that's somehow stuck? Do you have stats on failed in-bounds plays that would offer some support or is it just what you think?

It’s easier to make **** up to support an agenda.

That was more Carol being too big time to live in Ames, Iowa again. She wanted out. It was going to happen regardless. He also saw what happened with Golden State, where he talked to them the summer before, and didn’t go then, and it bothered him (he would have never gotten that out of that team, he’s not in Kerr’s stratosphere as a coach, but he doesn’t know that).

I think he actually may have wanted to come back after UAB, and coach that group as seniors, to try to get to the Final 4. If he added a couple of the transfers that he was in on, and not left a shallow roster especially after Naz went out, they would have been a threat.

But his wife wanting out, and the heart condition, and surgery he had that summer, really put a deadline in place. He was going then, it could have been Sacramento or Charlotte or anywhere. He was gone.

what does he do next?

NOT move back to Ames Iowa, that’s for sure. He may get another retread coaching job.

Honestly I think he may sit and wait for UCLA to open, and secretly push for that job. LA Is probably good enough for carol.

So you will be retiring in Montana then

I should have thrown some more obvious sarcasm in there

You didn't need more obvious sarcasm. Some people are just dense.

How's Carol's sandwich game?

Is anyone else uncomfortable bringing Fred's wife into this discussion?

Never felt better about it...

Honestly, there is nothing wrong with her not wanting to live in Ames Iowa. Once you have been out, and lives in major metropolitan areas, it makes it even smaller.

But this was a huge part of why he left, along with his heart condition. Something that had nothing to do with anything iowa State could have done to keep him here.
