 Sources told the Des Moines Register on Saturday that they expect
the Bulls to make the announcement Tuesday, but it may linger until
Wednesday.
The Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times reported Hoiberg could be
named before Thursday's start of the NBA Finals.
Hoiberg played four of his 10 NBA seasons with the Bulls and has
remained close to Bulls general manager Gar Forman, who was an
assistant at Iowa State when Hoiberg was a senior.
The Bulls fired Tom Thibodeau on Thursday despite the team reaching
the playoffs in each of his five seasons.
Hoiberg, 42, has had two open-heart surgeries, with the first ending
his playing career. He underwent surgery to replace his aortic valve
last month.
Since taking the helm of the Cyclones in 2010, Hoiberg has posted a
115-56 record, and Iowa State has made four NCAA Tournament
appearances.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson is expected to play in
Game One of the NBA Finals, coach Steve Kerr said.
"He's doing well," Kerr said after the Warriors practiced Saturday.
"There's sort of a progression of tests that he has to go through
for NBA protocol, league protocol. But he's going through that
process."
Thompson suffered a concussion when he took a knee to the head
Wednesday in Golden State's clinching win over the Houston Rockets
in Game Five of the Western Conference finals.
