DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa State spokesman says the school is in negotiations with Fred Hoiberg about becoming its next men’s basketball coach.
Spokesman Steve Malchow said Tuesday that Iowa State officials were negotiating with Hoiberg, a native of Ames and one of the top players in Cyclones history. Hoiberg is now vice president of basketball operations for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Iowa State is looking to replace Greg McDermott, who was introduced Monday as Creighton’s new coach.
Hoiberg played at Iowa State from 1991 to 1995, scoring nearly 2,000 points. He played 10 seasons in the NBA.
