Iowa State hires Hoiberg as coach

“The Mayor” is returning for a second term in Ames. Iowa State confirmed the swift and somewhat surprising hiring of Fred Hoiberg late Tuesday night after finalizing negotiations with the former Cyclones star. Hoiberg, known as “The Mayor” during his playing career, replaces Greg McDermott, who left Iowa State after four seasons to take over as the head coach at Creighton.
