Hoiberg Watch 2015: Monday, June 1 Open Thread

Pat Forde called this in his NCAA preview. At least part of it:

No. 7 IOWA
Best Case: Senior Aaron White continues his late-season drive to go out with some glory, racking up three straight 20-10 games. Jarrod Uthoff lights up the 3-point arc. Adam Woodbury eye-gouges nobody and does not cheat to win the opening tip. Coach Fran McCaffery stays calm for an entire week. Add it up and the Hawkeyes have their best NCAA showing since the late 1980s, charging improbably to the Elite Eight. They're too physical for Davidson and do a nice job on Gonzaga's Kyle Wiltjer and Kevin Pangos to spring the big upset. Then they take out impostor UCLA in the Sweet 16. Duke ends the run, but this is the best anyone has felt about Iowa basketball in ages. And it helps take everyone's mind off the state of Iowa football. Iowa State is shocked by UAB and Fred Hoiberg sprints to the NBA.

Can we all seriously get over this. Fred was great for the university. He brought us from bottom to almost the top. But what if he wasn't the guy to actually get us to the next level? There were plenty of games last year that we ****** down our leg and nobody ever wanted to blame our golden child. But in all seriousness, WAS FRED A GREAT X's & O's COACH??? I think Fred was great at putting people in place for him to succeed.

It hasn't even happened yet and everyone is supposed to be over losing arguably our best coach of all time?

We don't know if he interviewed for those positions before or after his surgery.

It would have to be after. The Pelicans didn't fire their coach until May 12. I suppose he could have interviewed with the Magic before but they really only started looking for a coach in the past few weeks.

This is why many of us, as long-time Cyclone fans, can never really enjoy success without fretting. We are always looking over our shoulder waiting for the other shoe to drop and for something bad to happen. Because the past has shown over and over that things can (and will) change in an instant. So next time we are having success and some of us are still nervous, maybe now you will know why.

Sucks to be that way. This is exactly why you enjoy it when you have it.

I still won't understand it, and I'm not joining that sad sack way of thinking.

I didn't say it wasn't happening. I said it hasn't happened yet. And you are telling people to get over it.

You aren't the feelings police. Let people feel how they want to feel.

One little note: Sounds like Charlie Henry will be on Hoiberg's staff in come capacity in Chicago. Probably not as a coach but like a video guy or something like that.

Strange character that Henry guy... Not sure what he brought to ISU but he has followed CFH around.
 
They talk about Henry like he's the ken Griffey junior of coaching

What if Fred had stayed at ISU and next's year team, as hyped as it is, **** the bed. Then his 2016 recruiting class leaves him without a top tier roster? What if we fall into mediocrity with Fred. Then what? Just saying...

What if (THE NEXT COACH) leads us to the final four, possibly further. Then signs a top 10 recruiting class (something Fred has never sniffed) and that coach takes us to a level even higher then our current one? Why so negative? Everything happens for a reason. Maybe today the reason isn't clear, but I promise you, next year will be as fun as any we have seen in Cyclone MBB history. What happens after that, only time can tell!

I am Loyal to this team and university, not Fred Hoiberg. With that said, good luck in Chi-town Freddy, may you hopefully never regret this life choice.

I tend to agree with this. When the players were "on" they won but when they weren't we lost games we should have won whether they were "on" or "off". Defense always seemed to be lacking too. It's obvious his behind the scene planning to jump to NBA has hurt recruiting. A great year next year and we can pick up the recruiting and keep this going. I'm all in for whomever JP hires. He's going to deserve and need our support.

I hope Fred hits rush hour at its heaviest tomorrow. Sitting in stop and go traffic for a couple hours.
Then he'll be reminded what his commute from the North Shore down to the UC will be like every day. No more quick 10 minute commutes from North Ames to the practice facility.

TAKE THAT FRED
 
I haven't been keeping up--has anyone implied that Fred had a deal before the NCAA tournament, some players found out, and it created a locker room distraction that was responsible for the UAB loss? Disappointed if not. TIA if you can quote the post.
 
Fred has to address the media/fans at some point though doesn't he? Any ideas as to when that would be? He doesn't seem like the kind of guy to just leave without saying anything.
