*** ASST. COACH SEARCH THREAD: Wed, June 10th ***

[Rhoadhoused]

He gone! Hope he enjoys Mill Ave.

You wanna break some news here?

 

[istater7]

Yep, I think that's exactly what I'll do. Do you not think it's dumb? Every other team in America right now has their assistants working on improving their program. One of ours is currently in Chicago working for the Bulls.

I really doubt he's still under contract. JP and everyone else know that Charlie is with the Bulls. Why would you want an assistant that isn't going to be in Ames next year recruiting?

 

[RedDog]

Yes, I think it is dumb that your concerned Iowa St is paying a Chicago Bull's assistant.

I doubt he's getting paid, but I bet he skipped town with a lot of official t-shirts.

 

[srjclone]

He gone! Hope he enjoys Mill Ave.

Mill Ave as in Arizona State? Where are you getting this?

He gone! Hope he enjoys Mill Ave.

STFU UNLESS SOURCE

Chew isn't happening from what I heard. If TJ is out, I wonder who is plan B/C for Prohm.

 

[RustShack]

Isn't Charlie still under contract with ISU? Therefore, shouldn't he be working on ISU related business? If he isn't, then we shouldn't be paying him.

Weird. I was under the impression we hired Smal because Charlie is a Bull now. We didn't add Charlie in addition to Charlie, Otz, and Mann.

 

[RedlineSi]

Why in the world would Otz go with Hurley to ASU?

Maybe he's just looking for a decent landing spot if things didn't work out with Prohm.

 

[DurangoCy]

Prohm talking with Seth and Andy, sounds like he's "in talks" with some of the existing assists. Wants midwest college recruiting ties on staff.

[Cytaki]

If Chew and Otzelberger don't happen, which seems like the top two choices for Midwest and Juco ties I would say keep Cornell Mann for Midwest ties and Michigan and maybe look at former Indian Hills coach Barret Peery for his deep junior college ties.

and maybe he is not comfortable staying here since he didn't get the job.

I never completely bought the "tj loves Iowa state so much, that's the only reason he came back story" but even if that was the reason, I can understand why he might not want to stay.

Doesn't Hurley already have a full staff? http://www.thesundevils.com/SportSelect.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=30300&SPID=126728&SPSID=749690

That's quite the understatement jsb

I think it has more to do with Allison loving it here and wanting to be back and raise her family here.

From what I've heard, that was 'spin' too.

 

[acgclone]

I'm sure it was mostly spin, and he was auditioning for the HC job at that point, but I'm sure there was some truth woven in as well.

Either way, I wish him the best of luck.

For all we know, he may be back some day as our HC if the stars aligned. Doubtful, but possible.

Believing things like that after Hoiberg is the exact real life manifestation of this gif.

That came from a personal friend of the Otz family, someone with no agenda whatsoever.

The way some of you people judge our coaches and athletes makes me sick.

Alison is from Australia. TJ and have 6-month old twins. Do you know how hard it is to raise twins, especially when you are married to a basketball coach that travels a lot? She has support here. TJ spent nearly a decade here too. Central Iowa is home.

There is more to these HUMAN BEINGS than basketball.
