Miles/Petteway presser today at 2pm

[AuroranHusker]

Really kind of shocked the Harriman thing came out of left field as Miles is saying.

 

A brand-new title of Associate HC + 30G

Does small ball also mean fast ball? 

[AuroranHusker]

Harriman left for the higher job status.

People have been reaching out to us about the job

 

 

Yep, 58 (or so)...

Really kind of shocked the Harriman thing came out of left field as Miles is saying.

 

Just a hunch but I'd say the timing more than anything. The coaching carousel has spun down quite a bit. 

[hhcmatt]

if you read between the lines 

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A RECRUITER BECAUSE GOOD PLAYERS = GOOD TEAM = GOOD PROGRAM

I guess this also answers the question in the McVeigh thread. If Miles didn't know until yesterday then I'm guessing McVeigh didn't have any idea either. 

[hhcmatt]

 

McVeigh is ALL N

Not exactly sure about the day to day relationship of Miles and Harriman...sometimes you tell the boss you're taking the new job and sometimes you don't.  Relatively speaking though, I would think Harriman would be the least surprising of all three assistants to leave given his demand and ambition. 

[hhcmatt]

 

Do we have to worry about Walt hitting our APR at this point?

[GATA]

Thanks for posting all the tweets, fellas. It's much appreciated.

[Huskerpapa]

Good to hear about McVeigh...it appears he chose a program, not a coach.  Very wise.

[hhcmatt]

 

Might depend on the amount of pressure that McVeigh gets from the home country to compete in this tourney after they've spent the last 6 months training him. On the other hand, he gets behind when trying to crack the rotation next year if he isn't on that trip. We'll see

[AuroranHusker]

We need to hope that Walt follows through & actually finishes those 14 credit hours he needs to graduate!

[hhcmatt]

 

Losing to a crappy Creighton team at home definitely was near the top of my frustration list

[hhcmatt]

 

"I'm here for the long haul. You're stuck with me," Tim Miles said.

 

I assume he dropped the microphone and walked off the stage after this.

[Red Rum]

Thanks for posting all the tweets, fellas. It's much appreciated.

I echo this statement. Unless someone posts it here or the HHC twitter account retweets it I usually don't see it. I follow enough crap on Twitter, I'm not following all these yayhoos too.

[Silverbacked1]

thanks guys.

[Red Don]

You can watch it here as well if it's not on mobile

 

 

This is a much watch though...the information on the tweets highlighted a lot of the big news but this entire presser was FULL of info and tidbits.  Randomly...Brandon Ubel tweeted Miles after WP turned pro to remind him that Miles had predicted that WP would be the first Husker to turn pro back when Ubel was a senior.

Have you ever watched tennis?

I'm OK with us playing SOME small, but I don't want a repeat of Doc year 3 and the smallest team in D1 starting two 6'5" guards as our "big" men. 

 

I'm also OK with him saying our shooting woes last year were an outlier.  I believe they were.  I think Shavon is a much better shooter than he showed and sometimes it just gets in your head and it's tough to get it out. 

 

But as to whether they need to hire a shooting coach or not, well ...

 

At the very least, make Ali earn his free graduate classes and prove his coaching moxie by teaching some of these guys how the hell to shoot the damn ball.  I don't want to see all this weird, across the body, wind up and release kinda crap.  I want to see guys who are technically sound and filling up the basket from deep.  Period.

 

Make it happen, Tim.

Oh, Normy, you know you're going to miss the elbow-tastic Walter P for 3 phenomena!

Not. In. The. Least.

AFAIC, this is the best news all day.  Even better if McVeigh makes the trip.  Along with a big man transfer to be named later.
