New Assistant -> Michael Lewis

[Norm Peterson]

 

The batter, looks like my swing.  

 

In a double header once our back up catcher missed the game so I caught both games.  They DH for me in the second because our starting pitcher was a way better hitter than I was ever going to be.

 

 

I thot it looked like Norm!    (but then again I've only seen him dunk )

 

Was that the time with the trampoline or the time they lowered the rim to 8 feet?

We use to use a trampoline on open gym on Saturdays

In case you're wondering what Harriman is up to

Ryan Miller out of UNLV looks intriguing and Miles actually knows him having coached him at Northern State (as an assistant). However, it looks like Miller is recent twitter friends with Jamie Dixon down at TCU as well as a couple of random TCU fan accounts so he very well may already be heading there.

 

Nailed it:

As a caveat let me say that the more "home run" the hire, the more likely that person is to leave for a head coaching gig or something else. If staff continuity is something you value, that's not necessarily coming with "home run"

Yes this would seem to be true. I would think the highest odds on an assistant staying for a bit would be the hire from within approach. One would think that if Eaton, Owens, or Farokmanesh were given their start here at Nebraska by Miles that they would be a better bet to stick around for some years at least.

 

Ali had this tweet today.

So does this mean anything? Does this mean that Farokmanesh has a spot to stay at Nebraska in some capacity? Otherwise, his graduate assistant gig was over at the end of the semester correct? Or how do those grad assistant spots work?

[Norm Peterson]

I've read Ali wants to stay. Who knows whether positions open for it. I don't see him having recruiting connections to make him an assistant coach, but if he filled any other vacancy, maybe he could establish some.

Isn't a grad asst. a two year gig? He has been here for two years now right.

Looks like both Ali and Teddy were in New York this week

 

 

We're allowed 4 guys out on the road so it looks like one of the assistants/Miles didn't go out. It also means Eaton didn't go out, unless it was 2 guys who didn't go out.

Also someone else was in Dallas

Miles hopes to have new assistant in place by the time school is out (May 6) and, definitely, before the spring recruiting period ends May 18th.

Mike Gesell would have certainly come here if Miles had been here in time.  This is proof!

All this time, what he really had in his basement was Tim Miles gear.  Who knew?

Can you guys imagine how that would look if Tim was still sporting his beard/goatee in that pic?

[Wayne Pesek]

Looks like this Lawson guy would come with two, possibly three, really good credentials!

Look like Teddy was travelling again

To the 2nd tweet, Coach Miles replied, "Rookie."

[jimmykc]

Phew, he used an "R" word which wasn't rents.

Yeah, that was a rookie move by TimmyBoy.

[49r]

Anybody notice all the rainbow pictures he's been tweeting and RT'ing today?

 

   

[Silverbacked1]

I know this hasn't been thrown out there yet, but what about Coach Williams husband?  He has coached at the D1 level and may have some pull in Texas where he is from.

 

Just something to think about.
