Kyle Green Hired
- Thread starter Dandy
- Start date
This MBB hiring (TJ firsr and now an asst) has become the National Enquire of Cyclone sports. Everyone gotta stick their nose in everyone's business. Gotta know every detail and why.
He’s had some bigs that would’ve done fine at high majors as juniors and seniors. At Iowa State though, he’ll be able to go after a whole new level of talent.

Footwork and body position translate at any level.
I'm just excited we have someone to coach the post position.
You want balance. Consider the group with Campbell. Assistants should be happy to stay while they are growing and eventually move up. That is what you want. Conversely if the stay is a couple years then moving on because the experience is sub par or they could get comfortable and complacent and stay too long. A unicorn that is the best at what they do but don’t want to move up is rare.
Overrated. You gotta hit the Arby’s at the Grundy exit, or wait for a last ditch stop at the Story City McD’s.
They would have been serviceable and better than what we had in the last couple of years, but you want more than fine.
Don’t try to downplay it. There were way too many posts on the topic.
You know Kyle’s not going to be pulling in the same recruits as he did at UNI right? Now that he’s at Iowa State, he’ll be able to get higher rated guys. Even so, guys like Seth Tuttle and the Koch bros would’ve been more than just serviceable at bigger schools.
So we should move on from Foster? I don’t see how learning post moves would hurt him? Hell Conditt would have benefited from Green, and probably will in his short year with him. Conditt may also benefit from TJ’s offense, which will likely use him the way Prohm should have, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be situations where it’s good for him to know how to play like a traditional post.
You’re not doing cartwheels and ******** rainbows out your *** over landing our top assistant from a so-so MVC team? How dare you.

Actually nobody knows that for certain.
Well fair. I’m assuming there will be a slight uptick in talent level now that he’s gone up another level. His bigs have been quite skilled at UNI so I’m assuming he’ll do well with working with more talented guys, even if that talent is only slightly better.
I do know that he’ll be so much better as a fundamental coach which should net far better results than we’ve seen in our post play lately.
USC hired Eric Mobley as assistant in 2018 and his two five-star sons follow in 2019 and 2020.
Oklahoma State hires Cannen Cunningham and soon follows his blue chip brother.
McDermott leaves for Creighton and his son follows and ends up being one of the most accomplished collegiate players ever.
I could go on and on...
Iowa State hires a coach and his son was the Larry Bird player of the year as a true sophomore and he is...STAYING at UNI. Seems about right. I respect AJ for the decision he made and even moreso Kyle for not pressuring his son into leaving a school he clearly loves but I mean gosh DAMN can we catch a break for once?
