Re: Coach Morgan
I'm sure Wayne would be available...things have really slowed down with dish sales.
Seriuosly, if Morgan was really a good coach, he would have been hired by someone (for anything BB) by now. Tainted goods with no real skills other than recruiting streetball-type players.

Re: Who will be Fred's on bench mentor?
I honestly believe you could see Terry Carrol back here at Iowa State. Hes a guy who knows the school, has head coaching experience, and knows Fred.

No success outside of JUCO ranks, but would be a decent fit.

Re: Coach Morgan
But if Hoiberg were to recruit the same black player from the same inner city, I doubt anyone would call the player a streetballer.

Re: Who will be Fred's on bench mentor?
you know i think more than anything he needs someone who can look at him and say "Fred, thats not a very good idea." Or "lets go another way, or try something different." I just think a guy like Carrol with years and years of experience of being in the college game would be a great fit.

Re: Who will be Fred's on bench mentor?
That is exactly what he needs and as long as fred is willing to listen it would be great success. I think fred knows what he lacks and has no problem turning to someone w/ experience.

Re: Coach Morgan
I don't think his "style" of play was his style of play.....it was the players'. I think he was an excellent recruiter (although perhaps not always above board) but I don't remember him being a great X and O coach. I think this would be a distraction more than anything else, and could create some conflict. Let's face it, he hasn't gotten another coaching job in the last 4 years. There is probably a reason for that.

Re: Who will be Fred's on bench mentor?
I think we've probably already been shot down, just a hunch. But at an assistant position I think that's ok as long as we eventually get our blue-haired Merlin.
Would be happy with any of these:
Steve Fisher (retired from Michigan & San Diego State)
John Cheney (retired from Temple)
Eddie Sutton
Dr. Tom
Don Meyer (Northern State U. coach who retired in Feb.)

you know i think your really reaching if you think a former final four coach is going to come to iowa state to be an assistant for iowa state.... i think your really going to see him going back to guys that have worked with fred and gone onto be head coaches. Especially with Tim Floyd offering help to him.
