AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State has hired former Cyclones star Fred Hoiberg as its new coach.
Iowa State announced the hiring late Tuesday after completing negotiations with Hoiberg. He was a prep star in Ames before becoming one of the top players in Cyclones history.
Hoiberg played 10 seasons in the NBA and was the vice president of basketball operations for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Hoiberg replaces Greg McDermott, who was introduced Tuesday as Creighton’s new coach after four losing seasons with the Cyclones.
Iowa State is holding a news conference Wednesday morning to formally introduce Hoiberg.
