This statement reminds me that TJ was on staff during the Hoiberg era.
Fred didn't run a tight ship. We all know this fact by now. Royce is an obvious example.
TJ runs a VERY tight ship. Culture, values, teamwork, integrity, etc., and while coaching always involves some level of coachspeak I think TJ really genuinely means these things when he says them.
I wonder what assistant TJ thought of how Fred ran the program while he was here.
Probably plenty of good things but also I think being up front with players and following through are things that could be taken away from his time as an assistant in general.
It’s honestly the most normal tweet he’s had in a long time and showing appreciation for his time in Ames. It’s so strange…if I knew nothing about his last decade, I’d love to have him back in Ames celebrating the player Royce.
And I remember correctly, it didn’t go well for him.
But I really hope he isn’t welcomed back. I’m not saying that Iowa State should refuse to let him buy a ticket, but I really hope they don’t recognize him in any way
I would prefer he not visit and speak to the team.
He could have had a long career, made more money than he would know what to do with, and probably could have made a couple all-star teams.
He can’t get out of his own way and I would be ok if he never stepped foot in Ames ever again.
That's quite a time frame.
Also I don't believe it's the only time frame with some not great situations.
Come on man, he was there for the food.
Recent reports I have confirm he's not a great human being. My Brother in-law coaches his kid in hoops.
I actually don't think there's much in between with him. With his rare combo of size, vision and ball handling skills, if not for off the court issues he's a star. If his shot improved, superstar.
Guys who can pass and handle the ball like that are almost never bulky/strong/explosive players like Royce already was, they're either smaller leaner players or much slower bigs like Joker and Sabonis father/son who might be able to pass at that level but not bring the ball up the court like that. His shooting touch and how much he was able to work as a defender would be the unknown or lacking areas besides the off the court stuff.
Suffice to say it's now quite obvious that off the court was a lot more than just typical anxiety or mental health issues that a massive % of society lives with. Lots of other stuff on top of that.
Multiple things can be true at once.
Anxiety and mental health struggles are awful and I wish them upon no one.
That same person who also says 'women have become too mouthy' and 'the bad guys won WWII' is also a garbage person.

Gross. I'm thankful that Royce and whoever was handling him for the year he was here was able to keep him somewhat in check. And I completely fell for the ******** that he was sort of a decent person.
But he needs to stay the hell away from Iowa State, our program, and anyone related to Iowa State basketball. Let Nebraska have him.
