Fullbacksympathy Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 I would take Lue immediately if he was interested. He wasn’t hand picked by Lebron because he was a minion. He was already a well respected assistant in the league. We’d be crazy to pass on a championship coach with that many connections to the league. There is also a built in respect that incoming recruits have for coaches who were elite players. jason2486 and Nebrasketballer 2 Quote

Play lockdown defense and take the air out of the ball? Orrrrr.... Give the best basketball player in the history of the sport the ball and tell him to win lots of games? Quote

Maybe some weird curse ending stuff at play there. This is what I love about sports and their fanbases, you make silly statements like this but it's actually a legitimate point for people to consider... Just made me step back and smile, so thank you @The Polish Rifle Quote

Nahhh Bron is going to get the NBA to change the 1 and done rule so the Lakers can draft Bronny from high school. Gotta be the first father-son duo to play together. Quote

I think he'd use his acumen as Nebraska's best point guard ever--all conference and a first round draft pick, his two NBA championships as a player under Phil Jackson, his decade plus playing career, his time as a lauded assistant under another NBA championship coach (Doc Rivers), and his championship level coaching at Cleveland which got him the mid-season recommendation from the smartest player ever because of how well he relates to players. When Lue took over and coached Cleveland to an impossible championship in 2016, he completely changed the offense from what Blatt was doing midseason to his preferred up-tempo offense against LBJ's wishes, got the team in better shape, and had them playing great defense by the time Game 7 rolled around. With that system, they would've won two more had KD not joined the Warriors. Of course it takes great players to win championships, but it takes great coaching as well. They aren't mutually exclusive, as you seem to be indicating. Hopefully that helps. Section_316, jayschool and dustystehl 1 2 Quote

Blindcheck Posted January 28, 2019 Report Posted January 28, 2019 Why do people think that Fred Hoiberg wouldn't consider Nebraska. Half his family is from Nebraska and his grandfather once coached at Nebraska. I think he could take a job at Nebraska and get 6 years, if he takes a job like UCLA...he might only get 3 years to turn it around. Nebrasketballer and Cowboy Kermit 2 Quote

Just kidding Those of you calling for Lue - if he didn’t play for Nebraska - what % of this board would even know who he is? Loved his time at NU. Did some cool stuff in the NBA - but as a coach, all he’s done so far is be a buddy of Lebron’s. I don’t want to hear about him winning a title. That’s 100% Lebron. At minimum, you at least need to run that thought experiment with yourself. If you remove him playing for NU, and still think he’d be a great choice, 1. I think you’re lying 2. then all the power to you. When you consider faciltiies each had at their disposal...Doc's record is even more impressive than Miles.

Blatt was winning 3 of every 4 games until he got fired (30-11) running the front of the pack in the NBA. Lue took over and went 66% (27-14) to finish it the season. Blatt was fired for political reasons, but that doesn't mean either of the two were a better coach. What has been consistent between the staff changes is the team. Quote
hhcmatt Posted January 28, 2019 Report Posted January 28, 2019 This is the article about Hoiberg. He doesn't like recruiting though he doesn't think anyone likes recruiting. I'm not sure that means that he never wants to be a college coach again at some point. Otherwise for anyone who thinks that transfers aren't the way to build a program that's basically how Hoiberg and Musselman have operated. Husker4theSpurs and ladyhusker 1 1 Quote

Blatt was fired for political reasons, but that doesn't mean either of the two were a better coach. What has been consistent between the staff changes is the team. Lue had to install a different philosophy on both ends of the court and get the players in good enough shape to run the system in the middle of the season. Rather than look at the overall record, look at how they finished: 16-5 in the playoffs, 3 of which were losses to what was at the time arguably the best team ever. Blatt's system was never going to beat Golden State. Quote
Blindcheck Posted January 28, 2019 Report Posted January 28, 2019 From Hoiberg I am not prioritizing one over the other in respect to the NBA and college,” Hoiberg said.“The jobs are so different that you cannot compare them, so I plan on evaluating whatever opportunities may come independently.” Quote
Blindcheck Posted January 28, 2019 Report Posted January 28, 2019 I am not saying that Hoiberg would pick Nebraska...but I do think he would consider it...esepcially if he intends to go the transfer route like he did at Iowa State... If you are at UCLA as an example, i don't think the transfer strategy would fly. At Nebraska, it might be a perfect fit for the way for what he did at Iowa State. Nebrasketballer 1 Quote

Huskerpapa Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 I am sort of surprised that nobody has mentioned John Wooden, oh wait, he passed away. Okay, okay, then how about Dean Smith, oh man, what do you mean he has passed away as well. Well crap, then perhaps we should go with a Midwestern pedigree; someone like Bobby Knight or hey, Steve Alford is available... Quote
