Yeah, it's not like Fred would rehire someone he didn't want to. Fred took on a guy he knows well and likes. He knows TJ will do a great job.
Otz is back

How does this affect recruiting for Iowa State?
Is TJ Otz a good defense coach? If he isn't I will be disappointed in hire.

Mann is our defensive coach. IIRC he was still in charge of the defense even when Doc was here
He actually was responsible for a few of the minor phone call violations and served a brief penalty for them (a week of non-contact, IIRC); however, this didn't have to do with his departure. Both Hoiberg and Abdelmassih also had violations, and there were less than 10 total violations between the three of them.
For those , and there appears to be a lot of you, who haven't been around ISU Bbal very long..TJ is one of the better recruiters we've had in a long while. Guy can recruit and this is dearly needed to re establish this program after next season. and...he will certainly add a little to the game planning and game day coaching as well.
This guy is the only reason that we won any games under McD. He brought in some great talent under Greg, so imagine what he can do with Fred the second time around with new recruiting contacts.
Yeah, we need standards like this so we don't end up with a Buzz Williams or Mick Cronin on our staff.
Morris was a Cornell Mann recruit

Isn't this a step down from where he was at ISU before? Henry is the associate head coach, which is what Otz was before. That's why I didn't think anyone was serios about Otz coming back.
Maybe my thinking is off.

Charlie Henry was only promoted to assistant coach before this season. Sounds like there won't be any "associate" tag for Otz this time though.
I know it doesn't really matter, so I'm not debating you or saying your wrong. I thought when Otz left, Doc took the associate job, and then when he left, Henry was promoted to that spot. I'm probably wrong though.
We don't have an associate HC, Charlie gets paid the least of all the assistants too.
Makes sense to me now. Although Otz and Doc were associate head coaches by title.
I don't know if this has been addressed on here yet or not, but in this quote from Hoiberg today.......
“We obviously have some things were we feel like we are in a pretty good spot with some kids who will be immediately eligible to play next year — some junior college kids — and we will continue to pursue transfers that become available as well,†Hoiberg said. “We will see what happens.â€
..... who are the JUCO's that we're in a good spot with that are eligible to play immediately next year? Anyone know?
