Man, I gotta tell you about this “Otzelberger” thing I’ve been digging into. I mean, I’ve heard the name a few times, some coach or something, but I didn’t really know much until I started poking around. So, I started with a quick search and the first thing I see is that he started out coaching high school teams and worked his way up to being a pretty big deal, one of the top young coaches in the country, it said. That’s kind of cool, right? It had a really good impression on me.
Then I kept digging. Found out that last season, his team, Iowa State, had their best season ever under his coaching. They even won the Big 12 Tournament title in Kansas City. Talk about making a splash! I was like, “Okay, this guy’s got something going on.”
- Started searching about Otzelberger online.
- Discovered he started in high school coaching.
- Learned about his success with Iowa State last season.
Next, I looked into the players he’s worked with. Turns out, there are over a dozen players he recruited and coached at Iowa State who got recognized by the Big 12 Conference. One of them was named Georges Niang. It was kind of mind-blowing to see how many successful players came from under his wing. It seems like he’s really good at spotting talent and helping them grow.
- Found out about the players he coached.
- Noted the recognition of more than a dozen players in the Big 12.
