The Mayor is back: Cyclones name Hoiberg head coach
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
04/28/2010 -
Ames, IA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Iowa State has named Fred Hoiberg its head men's
basketball coach.
Hoiberg, who starred for the Cyclones in the 1990s, will be introduced at a
news conference Wednesday morning. He just finished his first season as the
vice president of basketball operations for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Iowa State needed a replacement for Greg McDermott, who left Monday to take
the head coaching job at Creighton. He spent the past four seasons as head
coach of the Iowa State Cyclones, going 15-17 a year ago with a 4-12 record in
the Big 12, and was 59-68 overall since arriving in Ames in 2006.
The 37-year-old Hoiberg played for Iowa State from 1991-95 and then spent 10
years in the NBA, with stops in Indiana, Chicago and Minnesota. He averaged
5.4 points over a 541-game career.
Hoiberg received the nickname "The Mayor" when he received a write-in vote for
the Ames, Iowa mayoral race. He was honored as Mr. Basketball in Iowa for 1991
and the following season he enrolled at Iowa State.
Hoiberg served as Minnesota's assistant general manager for three seasons
after retiring from the NBA on April 17, 2006. He also had heart surgery on
June 28, 2005 to correct an enlarged aortic root.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.
Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.
According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).
Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.
''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.
Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.
''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''
Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.
”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
