Fred Hoiberg, one of Iowa State University's all time greatest basketball players [hell, he was probably the best football player we had at the time too, he just didn't play], is considering returning to the NBA even with a pacemaker. The Mayor all most died last year when, at the last moment, they found he had an aneurysm in his aoritic root. It is a condition that would have been fatal if he had continued to play basketball for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
I know Fred is competitive, having watched practically all of his college games while he was a Cyclone. However, here's hoping common sense prevails. Fred has a wife and twin children. Basketball just isn't important when compared to family, especially not T'wolves basketball.
Besides it's long overdue and it's time for the Mayor to return to Ames and coach his beloved 'Clones. As far as the Cyclones already having a coach in Wayne Morgan...don't kid yourself...the moment Fred says he wants to come home is the same moment Morgan becomes the coach of the Ames High Little Cyclones. Of course, the shock of losing his job would take awhile to register with Morgan just like it takes half the game for him to read an opponent's offense or defense.
