Iowa State coach Hoiberg retains Rutter

AMES, Iowa -- Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg says Jeff Rutter will stay on as the Cyclones' director of basketball operations.

Rutter spent the past four years as an assistant coach under Greg McDermott. He became the team's director of basketball operations last month and will serve in that capacity under Hoiberg.

Hoiberg says Rutter has an outstanding working knowledge of the program and the state as a whole.

Hoiberg was hired in late April to replace McDermott, who left to become head coach at Creighton.

Rutter joins associate head coach T.J. Otzelberger and assistant Jeff Grayer on Hoiberg's first staff.
