Charlie Henry joins the Chicago Bulls

_GB · Jun 18, 2015

Iowa State men’s basketball assistant Charlie Henry has resigned his position at the school to join former Cyclones coach Fred Hoiberg’s staff on the Chicago Bulls.

“I’m really excited to continue to work for Fred,” Henry said in a phone interview with the Ames Tribune, “and do it in a first-cass championship-level organization like the Bulls. It’s unbelievable.”

Henry’s move continues a quick rise in the profession after he came to ISU as a graduate assistant in 2012, was promoted to director of player development in 2013 and then moved up to full-time assistant in 2014.

“I’ve really developed a comfort level with Charlie over the last couple years working with him from the minute he got on campus as our grad assistant,” Hoiberg said last June when Henry was promoted. “You could tell he had a very advanced basketball mind. He was so impressive.

“The first thing when we had him as a grad assistant, I was trying to figure out how we’re going to keep this guy on staff. That’s how valuable he was.

“He’s as good a young basketball mind as I’ve ever been around. He’ll bring things to me, wrinkles on plays that we run, and you’re like, ‘Man, how’d you think of that?’ He’s really good.”

Henry, 29, has an NBA background already after spending the 2011-12 season as the Indiana Pacers’ video coordinator when Boylen was on staff as an assistant there.

“It’s going to be just a really good fit for everyone,” Henry said. “I’m definitely really excited to be back with coach Boylen again, have the chance to see (Hoiberg and Boylen) work together. I think it’s going to be great.”
