Down goes Freddy

[BoxsterCy]

It obviously isn’t all about money because he took the nebraska job.

LOL that was more money again including the undeserved extension that he got.

Well he's too young to retire and I don't think he had a lot of options, also family ties to Nebraska. Fred doesn't need money he needs something to do.

Think it was more of a "I'm going to go there and resurrect my coaching career. Should be easy. And get paid a bunch doing it. Also, something, something family or whatnot."

Think what is more likely is Lincoln will now be on his coaching tombstone

COACH FRED HOIBERG
AKA "THE MAYOR"
BORN 2010 AMES, IOWA
DIED 2023 LINCOLN, NEBRASKA

Fred always wanted a top office job in the NBA, coaching was a step towards that. A close friend told me this.

He had one...

I'm going to guess a guy associated with this draft history was not heavily sought out in NBA front office circles:

Hopefully, the Fighting Freddies will turn it around and win at least two more of their remaining 6 games this season....

He beats the Fighting Frans twice, he may end up with as many conference wins as us, granted in a much weaker conference. At least we won’t be paying nearly as much per win.

Hey now.

Super Mario Chalmers was the starting PG for a team that won the NBA Finals.

And the party continues into the daylight hours in the Haymarket...

 

[carvers4math]

Time for his Big Ten tournament run, Hawks fans have told me how mighty the Gophers are, if he can beat them, the sky is the limit.

 

[Cyclones1969]

okay...

I guess I fail to see what that has to do with whether an NBA team wanted him or not after the 2009 draft.

You said the t wolves wanted him before the first extension. It was the gophers job interview that led to the first extension.

I seem to remember Flip talking about Fred after his second extension.

Fair enough. I may have mixed up extensions. The point is, they wanted him and it was well after the 2009 draft.

That I agree with. Fred was way way down on the list of people TWolves fans hated. No question

They may never lose again

 

[ISpyCy]

They may never lose again

Would be nice considering who they play this weekend...

 

[BCClone]

He had one...

No he didn’t. He had an office job, not a big dog

I doubt he beats the Hawks even once, imo. Why? Beating MN is one thing because they are a similar team as Nebr. as far as talent. Both tough close losses Nebr had at home recently was because a star (Cockburn for Illinois, Liddell for OhState) took over at the end of the games to pull them from behind. Keegan Murray will go off against them and also overall Iowa will hurt them on the boards.

Roy was good til he ran out of knees.

 

[cyclonehomer]

Roy was good til he ran out of knees.

A real shame his knees gave out on him. Dude was awesome.

 

[hoosman]

Reasons he left: NBA aspirations, hated recruiting, didn’t like Ames, didn’t see eye to eye with Jamie.

With their soft as a pillow frontline.

And course they traded him. Sorry, when Fred was at the T wolves their drafting and personnel decisions were absolutely horrible. No idea how much Input he had, but NBA teams don’t typically go looking for front office talent from teams where pretty much every personnel decision was a complete flop.
