“I loved playing for Tim,” Hoiberg said. “I played for a legendary guy in Johnny Orr, who in my opinion is still the most important figure in Iowa State athletics history for all he did. And for Tim to have to replace him and inherit six seniors was very difficult. But he was unbelievable. The way he laid out his plan and vision right away was very clear to the team. We had a great year and he continued on to have great seasons.”
