I see Mike Anderson of Arkansas was let go today.  My first choice is Hoiberg, but this guy might not be a bad 2nd choice.  .685 winning percentage at UAB.  .661 at Missouri and .624 at Arkansas.  Don't know what went south at his alma mater, but what do the rest of you think of him as plan B or C?

There is a need to reiterate the fact that Coach Miles IS a good coach.  He would not have worked up to this level in the business if he was not a good coach.  He was in fact, coach of the year just a

I just hope the next coach, whoever it is, works as hard through adversity as Tim Miles does.   The writing has been on the wall for awhile.  It would have been easy to just cash in his chip

I would not rule out Greg Marshall of Wichita State or Tad Boyle at Colorado as potential replacements. Both are still playing in NIT and could be reason why Moos said it could be 10-14 days.

?  you are joking right?

I've been hearing pretty good things about a guy out west, taking a team with virtually zero hoops history and pedigree to unprecedented highs this year already.  Goes by the name of Miles I think?

Did he leave the program better than he found it?

 

You are right that he is not coming back to Nebraska, everybody knows that...if it is mentioned it is only done so sarcastically.

 

But the answer to the question you asked above is absolutely unequivocally yes the program was in a better place when Tim left than when he came here.

 

Doc Sadler had taken what was supposed to be his best roster at Nebraska to a 12-18 (4-14) record and average attendance in the low 3,000's at Devaney.  He had left the program in an absolute shambles and on a steep downward trajectory.

 

Doc reached the post season 3 times in 6 seasons (all NIT with a 1-3 record)

 

Tim Miles took that program and finished above .500 in conference play twice (two times more than Doc achieved that feat) and, oh he also sold out season tickets to a 15,500 seat arena for each of his 6 years at PBA.  The program was on the rise in the last two years of his tenure, or at worst it was plateauing at high-teens win totals.

 

Tim reached the post season 3 times in 7 seasons (two NIT and one NCAA also 1-3 record)

Why do we keep bringing up Tim Miles?  Did he leave the program better than he found it?  I liked the guy and I wish him well but he is not coming back to NU.  Time to move on.

 

Is Doc Sadler available?

And finished bottom 4 5 out of 7 years

I would also add that any coach would have those #'s at PBA considering its what happens whenever a new arena is built.  Its not like his 1st year he was lighting the world on fire.  He was a good promoter for what the program needed at the time
