On Wednesday, The Ames Tribune published an article claiming that Jamie Pollard and the ISU Athletic Department was ‘nickel and diming’ the men’s basketball team over the past few seasons, and that this led to former coach Fred Hoiberg’s departure to the Chicago Bulls. Once the news broke, both Hoiberg and Pollard publicly disputed the claims.

Max Dible got in touch with Pollard Wednesday over the phone to get his side of the story. Check out the audio from the phone call here.
