Hoiberg returns to Iowa State
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
04/28/2010 -
Ames, IA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fred Hoiberg was introduced Wednesday as the new
men's basketball coach at Iowa State and called the return to his alma mater
"a dream come true."
Hoiberg, who starred for the Cyclones in the 1990s, agreed to a five-year
contract with a base salary of $800,000 on Tuesday.
"It's a Hollywood script for me to take the reins of a program that I cheered
for as a kid, played for as a collegian and followed closely for more than a
decade as an alum," said Hoiberg on Wednesday.
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.
The Cyclones won 78 games and played in three NCAA Tournaments in his career.
He is the school's third all-time leading scorer with 1,993 points and his No.
32 jersey was retired in 1997.
"We are all familiar and proud of the distinguished career of Fred," said
school president Dr. Gregory Geoffroy. "Bringing an All-American -- both in
the classroom and on the basketball court -- back to our staff is cause for
celebration and it's even more thrilling since he is a native son."
Hoiberg served as the assistant general manager with the Timberwolves for
three seasons after retiring from the NBA in 2006 and spent the past year as
the team's vice president of basketball operations, but apparently had
previously campaigned for the Iowa State position.
"Four years ago, Fred expressed interest in our head coaching position and
he's been on my short list ever since," said Iowa State athletic director
Jamie Pollard. "It did not take very long for me to see his passion, his quiet
confidence and his plan to have success in our men's basketball program. Based
upon his personal experiences, Fred is better equipped and positioned than
anyone to take the reins of this program."
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 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.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend. Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
