From Marc Stein of ESPN.com:
It is widely — and I mean widely — believed throughout the league that Fred Hoiberg, whose Iowa State Cyclones were bounced in the first round of the tournament Thursday by UAB, is the top choice of the Chicago Bulls to replace Tom Thibodeau in the event that the Bulls and Thibs indeed part company at season’s end

@kevinarnovitz: There's virtual unanimity among NBA people that Fred Hoiberg is a born NBA coach. "Runs pro sets. Knows pro game. Born motivator," says a GM

I've been hearing Hoiberg to the Bulls for weeks. Thibs is good as gone.

On the flip side, with Thibs's defensive expertise, he could build a powehouse in college if he were to go that route. His biggest knock is running players into the ground in 48 minutes over the course of an 82 game season. That problem could be masked with 40 minute games in a 35ish game season.

Defensive wizard coaches can be great in college without the talent of the top programs. See Tony Bennett.

He's from ames, played there, all his family is there. There's no way he leaves ISU. The same rumors were going around about him and the Knicks and warriors a few years back.

Pretty stupid if the Bulls let go thibs. He's a top 5 coach in the NBA if you ask me.
