Amid UNC talk, T.J. Otzelberger says he's staying at Iowa St.
Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger shot down reports linking him to other jobs, including the North Carolina vacancy, saying he's "thrilled to be the coach of the Cyclones" and looks forward to future success in Ames.
Otzelberger, who leads No. 2 seed Iowa State against No. 6 Tennessee in an NCAA tournament Sweet 16 matchup Friday night, addressed his status after arriving at the team hotel Wednesday in Chicago. He said any speculation linking him to other jobs is "not true."
"As we move forward together, the alignment on our campus with [university president David] Cook, [athletic director] Jamie Pollard is amazing, and we're thrilled and excited about our future together," Otzelberger said. "There's no questions about it, there's nothing to talk about, there's nothing else to answer. That's the truth."

Otzelberger and Alabama's Nate Oats have been mentioned as logical targets for UNC's brass, and all three are in the Windy City this week, itching to book their tickets to the Final Four.
The messaging with Otzelberger has remained remarkably consistent. Even though Otzelberger has just a $4 million buyout, which pales compared to Oats' $18 million figure, the Iowa State head coach reiterated yet again that he plans to stay put. North Carolina did have Otzelberger on the short list, but he has rebuffed those advances.
