ALREADY PREPPING FOR DOOMSDAY. Gary Parrish reports that Jamie Pollard has been preparing for Hoiberg's departure for a while.

AT LEAST HE'S LEAVING US FULLY STOCKED. One of the rare times where a coach is leaving a loaded team is happening.

WRITING'S ON THE WALL. Fred Hoiberg told Cheick Diallo he couldn't commit to Iowa State for the 2015-16 season.

Seattle Mariners

BAKER MAYFIELD CAN DANCE? Who knew?
