That's one year of his new salary. Quote

If you don't me asking (because you're one of the knowledgeable guys here about Basketball), what makes Coach Otzelberger a good candidate? Quote

If you don't me asking (because you're one of the knowledgeable guys here about Basketball), what makes Coach Otzelberger a good candidate? About to be four years, and four NCAA Tournaments at Iowa State ... two Sweet 16's in first three years. Took over a dreadful situation and flipped it very quick. Plays a quality style ... 72 possessions per game ... average 80 PPG on season in a very tough league. Very good transition offensive coach. Very good spacing and feel for the modern offensive game Has proven to be a very solid talent evaluator and roster developer His Iowa State team has had some injury adversity this season, and he's powered through it well. 9 Quote
MarkInAustin Posted March 3 Posted March 3 ISU has impressed me under Coach O. ISU is a basketball friendly place. Great home arena crowds. But Texas has shown potential [at least, when winning] with the Moody and the student seating that could be attractive to Otzelberger. I think CDC will do as well as he can with what Texas can offer - but it does come down to what CAN and WILL Texas offer [for coaches plus NIL]? I hope it is an attractive package that frees CDC to have excellent options. There are coaches with running styles that would tend to fill the Moody, and they would always be my personal preference as a live viewer in the arena. Coach Otz is one of them. Will Wade is another. I accept Bierce's review of Pitino's son although I have never seen his team play. There are several other Usual Suspects, but for my taste, stay away from coaches who rely first on defensive bangers to the detriment of offensive speed, even if they are proven winners with it. And while I think Royal Ivey is going to stay in the NBA, we know from his Olympic team that he coaches a fast brand of ball and can develop team structure from raw kids. Just sayin... 2 Quote

That’s kind of where I am at. An offense that is exciting. As Gerry said talent evaluator(assuming Texas stays in the salary range and NIL he mentioned). Doing more with less. Otz shirt always looks like it’s going rip apart because it’s so tight. Sudan didn’t even have a gym to practice. Royal had to take them somewhere else. 1 1 Quote
bierce Posted Monday at 02:44 PM Posted Monday at 02:44 PM I think it will be hard to get Otzelberger away ISU. He and his wife have roots in the midwest, and both are heroes in Ames. Otzelberger has spent his entire life in Wisconsin, Iowa, or South Dakota save two years as an assistant at a JC in Florida, two years as an assistant at UDub, and two years as a head coach at UNLV. They have three children ages 6-10, so maybe they won't want to move. He's already approaching god-like status in Ames, and Hilton is packed every game with an extremely enthusiastic crowd. But we have a lot more money. I like Otzelberger for several reasons, many of which Gerry and Mark mentioned, but what they haven't mentioned is the fact he adapted playing style to the players and environments in which he was coaching. He began his HC career in the Summit League, a league notorious for spread it out and jack up the three. His team was the best at that after his three years there. He really wasn't at UNLV long enough to create a real identity. He inherited a mess that returned only 2 starters and 2 significant bench players, and he lost 5 of his top 8 in minutes played after the first year. At ISU he has created a team that focuses on half-court pressure defense to force turnovers and transition scores. This is the first year ISU has not lead the Big 12 in defensive turnover percentage. I guess Sampson was embarrassed about finishing second at it last year. 3 Quote
