Hoiberg played for the late great Iowa State Legends Johnny Orr and later starred at Ames High School and Iowa State. He was a heckuva player coming into the NBA and had some health conditions that cut that short. He was drafted 2nd round by the Indiana Pacers and played for Indy, the Bulls and Timberwolves.
The Mayor then worked in the T'Wolves front office from 2006-2010. He was then back at Iowa State pulling some "Hilton Magic" as he brought the Cyclones back to prominence rather quickly. Ironically enough he replaced then Cyclones lead man Greg McDermott yes the Father of current Bulls SF Doug McDermott and take that NBA Heads. (Going 360 Degrees McDermott starred in H.S with the #1 rated player in the U.S. in the class of 2010 in "Dubs" SF Harrison Barnes).
Now Hoiberg at the ripe age of 42 gets a Bulls Team that was a major disappointment in the 2015 "Fight for Larry" and in need of an upgrade. Chicago has the 22nd Pick overall in the 2015 NBA Draft and they ned to go get Rip City's LaMarcus Aldridge and move two pieces...really!
We will see how it plays out but Hoiberg should bring a much different look to the Bulls Offensively as that is where they struggled under Thibs!
Welcome the "Mayor of the Madhouse" in Fred "I love Ames, Iowa" Hoiberg...
360 Degrees...the Bluedude was at the 2015 McDonald's All-American Game and spotted then Hoiberg chatting with both Gar FOrman and John Paxson as the "Mayor" was looking at the McDonald's All-Amrican M.V.P. Chieck Diallo who had the Cyclones high on his list and later chose Kansas. Of course I told everyone around me what was going on and they were in awe of what the Bluedude laid out as I said, " Hoiberg will be the new head coach by June 2015 of the Bulls", and everyone around me said, "no way"!
When the Bluedude strikes...you beat writers better go hide!
