ESPN: ISU hires McDermott
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2378077
Iowa State will announce Northern Iowa's Greg McDermott as its next men's basketball coach at a news conference later today, a source close to the situation told ESPN.com Tuesday morning. McDermott replaces Wayne Morgan, who was abruptly fired Thursday after three seasons. McDermott told Northern Iowa athletic director Rick Hartzell late Monday night. A team meeting was scheduled for noon Tuesday to let the players know of McDermott's decision. McDermott led Northern Iowa to its second consecutive NCAA Tournament, losing to Georgetown in the first round last week in Dayton. McDermott interviewed with Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard on Sunday in Iowa City. McDermott also interviewed with Kansas State on Monday in Chicago. A source told ESPN.com that McDermott was offered both jobs. Meanwhile, a source said Northern Iowa is expected to promote assistant Ben Jacobson to replace McDermott. That announcement could come as early as Wednesday morning. |

Probably a good move for ISU.

The mood was pretty somber here today. Mac was a great coach. However, Jacobson will be a great hire for the program (should be announced later today). Hopefully, he'll be able to keep the recruiting class intact.
