The Mayor is back: Cyclones name Hoiberg head coach

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

04/28/2010 - Ames, IA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Iowa State has named Fred Hoiberg its head men's basketball coach.

Hoiberg, who starred for the Cyclones in the 1990s, will be introduced at a news conference Wednesday morning. He just finished his first season as the vice president of basketball operations for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Iowa State needed a replacement for Greg McDermott, who left Monday to take the head coaching job at Creighton. He spent the past four seasons as head coach of the Iowa State Cyclones, going 15-17 a year ago with a 4-12 record in the Big 12, and was 59-68 overall since arriving in Ames in 2006.

The 37-year-old Hoiberg played for Iowa State from 1991-95 and then spent 10 years in the NBA, with stops in Indiana, Chicago and Minnesota. He averaged 5.4 points over a 541-game career.

Hoiberg received the nickname "The Mayor" when he received a write-in vote for the Ames, Iowa mayoral race. He was honored as Mr. Basketball in Iowa for 1991 and the following season he enrolled at Iowa State.

Hoiberg served as Minnesota's assistant general manager for three seasons after retiring from the NBA on April 17, 2006. He also had heart surgery on June 28, 2005 to correct an enlarged aortic root.
