Mike Daum thought about transferring when his South Dakota State coach left after his freshman year. His new coach got him to stay. After winning back-to-back Summit League player of the year honors, he could have graduate-transferred to any program in the country. His coach was a big reason he chose to stay. That coach was T.J. Otzelberger, who just took over the Iowa State program. Daum, now playing professionally in Spain, gives his thoughts on the new Cyclone leader.
