High school and college

During his time at Ames High School , Iowa , Hoiberg not only served on the school's basketball team, but also acted as the football team's quarterback . In 1991 Hoiberg led his team to the state championship and was named "Mr. Basketball "in Iowa. He then moved to Iowa State University . His first three years there he played under Johnny Orr , his last year of college under Tim Floyd .
