Hoiberg played at Iowa State from 1991-1995 and was drafted by the Indiana Pacers in the 2nd Round of the 1995 NBA Draft. Hoiberg would go on to have a 10 year playing career making appearances for the Indiana Pacers, Chicago Bulls, and Minnesota Timberwolves. He took over at Iowa State in 2010 when Greg McDermott left to become the head coach at Creighton. Hoiberg was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year in 2012.

SLOB Box Fake Cut Lob

Gasol is a great passer, and shows it here with a great lob pass to Jimmy Butler. Butler makes a great fake cut out to the perimeter and changes direction for the lob and layup.
