2006–07 Iowa State Cyclones men's basketball team
American college basketball season
The 2006–07 Iowa State Cyclones men's basketball team represented Iowa State University during the 2006–07 NCAA Division I men's basketball season . The Cyclones were coached by Greg McDermott , who was in his 1st season. They played their home games at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa and competed in the Big 12 Conference .
Previous season
The Cyclones finished 16–14, 6–10 in Big 12 play to finish 8th the regular season conference standings.[ 2] They lost to Colorado in the first round of the Big 12 tournament .
On March 17, 2006, it was announced that Wayne Morgan and his staff would be fired by the university.[ 3] While lack of results played into the decision there were other contributing factors. While Morgan was a high level recruiter, on the court success did not follow as it should have. In addition, Morgan and his staff had used a company called 'D1 Scheduling' to schedule games in the past seasons. There were allegations that money was being exchanged for recruits.[ 4]
On March 21, 2006, it was announced that Greg McDermott , then head coach of the UNI Panthers , would be hired as head coach of the Cyclones.[ 5]
