We've recruited some guys who can make shots We haven't recruited big men. I'd also argue that the lack of a legit post makes it more difficult for our guards/wings to hit shots. Not saying we are a great shooting team...but our issues have as much to do with ahot selection and offensive sets as it does anything else. When you don't get good looks, you are going to shoot a lower percentage. I will add that we don't get good rhythm shot opportunities like other teams, and when we do, our guys hesitate, pump fake, or dribble nowhere. ladyhusker 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He then spent 6 years at Nebraska and left saying these switches are needed to move up into a HC position. I honestly think he really wants to be a head coach and is doing what he thinks can get him a gig. Also he must of taken some advice literally if someone to him to spend no more than 6 years at one school. Craig Smith has two HC jobs since being here. He has Utah State as one of the last teams in according to bracketmatrix. A power 5 school might take a chance on him. I don't think Hunter moving to UConn is going to get him a HC job. I think he is trying to get a big time gig, or 1 on the East Coast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cazzie22 1,436 Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Maybe we should look at the Wofford Coach? Miles didn’t seem to have any answers after tonight’s game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Woof, Roby's side dribble every freakin' time is driving me batty. He'll hesitate at the three-point line nearly every time, too. He'll drive to the basket and lose the ball quite regularly. It's like the Benny Hill theme song at times. Or, maybe a short snippet on Shaqtin-A-Fool, perhaps. #sheesh NUtball, jason2486 and kimaniismyffriend 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We are going to shell out some money if we get our man. Bobby Hurley just signed a 5 year extension and it would cost anyone 3 mil to buy him out of that contact. I think he's making 2.1 with all sorts of bonuses including retention. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You want to talk about building relationships and not having to worry about players transferring every off-season? Otzelberger was able to keep freakin Mike Daum from transferring literally anywhere he wanted if he chose to. And he's got a great offensive mind. I think it'd be a solid hire.

He's always had an All-American on his roster as a head coach 2.) His success as an assistant at Iowa State is greatly overstated. He was lucky to be on a staff with a great head coach. Doesn't always translate to success as a head coach himself at a big time program. This is why I also don't like the idea of bringing in a Duke assistant.

FredsSlacks 944 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 i've spoken to people that have worked for coaching search firms. according to them, one of lincoln's biggest selling points is that it's a safe place to raise a family. obviously money is a big factor. but if the coach isn't currently raising a family, lincoln isn't a very attractive destination to coach/live. if you believe this, it's going to be very difficult to get someone like hoiberg, alford, matta who already have adult kids and are financially well off. callahan, pelini, frost, sadler, miles all had young kids when they took the job and moved to lincoln. riley being the exception.

I don't know if this has been discussed but both Mark Turgeon and Tad Boyle were assistant coaches at Oregon during the Moos tenure there. Wonder if there was much of a relationship built . I know that Boyle is from Colorado and considered the Buffs to be his dream job but the natives are restless there. He has taken Colorado to 4 NCAA tournaments and 2 NIT's in 8 full seasons. They will be going to post season again this year. hhcmatt 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
