Bringing on Jay Bilas to talk about a court storming incident involving Duke is like asking Desmond Howard to have a rational argument involving Michigan.

I was hoping someone posted that for everyone... skilled, tough, level-headed & articulate. Ed Morrow Jr. is the total package for a 17 yr old basketball recruit. Glad the Huskers have him in 2015! GBR

 

 

Most excellent.  The only thing I was really concerned about in that interview was the fact that he had more fun in Iowa City.

 

WTF ARE WE DOING PEOPLE.

Here is a Barfknecht article on Petteway: http://www.omaha.com/huskers/barfknecht-nu-s-terran-petteway-puts-nba-away-for-now/article_89e48f26-34b6-5f58-b186-ae88573e3e85.html?mode=jqm

And here is a blurb from the article:

Nebraska coach Tim Miles has a plan for dealing with the coming conjecture. “If Terran has a chance to get his degree and be a first-round draft pick and a chance to secure his future, I would advise him to do that,” the coach said. “But would I love to keep him and see what the team could do? Absolutely. That would be so cool.”

A TM story from Grand Island Independent:

 

http://www.theindependent.com/sports/hamar-miles-puts-nu-back-in-business/article_6520a384-4e96-11e4-be4a-f77f88b3d967.html

 

One interesting perspective from Beau Reid:

Reid has done a complete 180 on Miles since Tom Osborne hired him to take over for Doc Sadler. Reid was asked by a newspaper reporter about Miles at the time, and Reid said he had never heard of him, and he expected the Huskers to bring in more of a big-name coach with the new arena opening that fall.

“I’m happy that I was completely wrong about that,” Reid said. “He’s awesome.”

Experience key to Nebraska’s improvement in preseason - Barfknecht

 

http://www.omaha.com/huskers/experience-key-to-nebraska-s-improvement-in-preseason/article_b869ddcb-3253-527c-91fc-b123b4f1a96f.html

 

Miles likes the progression he has seen since his arrival.

 

“Practice was clearly better last year than they were our first year,” he said Thursday. “And they have probably doubled in intensity and quality this year.”

 

Nebraska completed a fifth straight day of practice Thursday with a high-tempo, high-contact 90-minute session. Yes, high-contact. No whistles were used in order to teach being tough with the basketball.

 

“Wow, they really got after it,” said practice visitor Will Dawkins, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s director of college player personnel. “That was impressive.”

NU's Shields conditioned for 'heck of a season' - Rosenthal

 

http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/mens-basketball/nu-s-shields-conditioned-for-heck-of-a-season/article_1d15d439-2aae-571b-a3e6-ae3210034d49.html

 

But the one Husker player Wilson points out to not forget when discussing strides in strength and conditioning?

That would be junior guard Shavon Shields.

 

“He just keeps surprising me on how well he does on things,” Wilson said. “I just think he keeps getting stronger, and he’s deceptively fast. His conditioning is really high-level. He just does everything well.”

(Dimes, I can't seem to get this to embed)

 

They switched up the format on me here. I hacked this one in.

 

Also, here is the transcript

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TIM MILES:  First of all, I want to just start with a little bit of I want to coach you guys up a little bit.  Today is not media day, it's the nightmare for sports information directors.  And second of all, when a coach walks into a room, we're used to the school song or a standing ovation, and we get none of that from you, and I want to know when that's going to stop.  When are we going to get it right here?  Because we walk in and you guys are just like punching your keys, drinking your coffee, grumpy that it's morning.  Are we going to do a happy hour deal?  Is that what you want?  Are you that difficult to deal with? 
I mean, coaches are ready, and we all know that most people are going to ask us questions about their own teams, so you can put, well, Miles said this about Indiana.  I would just like to field questions about Nebraska. 
 
Q.  Following your orders, Tim, you were picked last the first two years in this league.  This year you're picked fourth.  Do you have any reaction to that? 
TIM MILES:  Well, yeah.  You guys haven't got it right yet.  You know, an old coaching friend told me one time, never trust the media unless it helps you with recruiting, so I kind of stick by that.
 
Q.  How old a coach was that?
TIM MILES:  Well, that was Jim Molinari, my assistant.  He told me yesterday.  (Laughter). 
 
Q.  You guys have had a lot of success, especially last year.  How do you continue to move in the right direction as this season approaches? 
TIM MILES:  Well, probably just throw the ball to Petteway and Shields and stand there and say nothing.  I mean, we weren't any good until we defended.  Once we started playing very solid defense and became a good defensive rebounding team, we became a good team but not until.  We were still pretty off on offense and as practice has progressed, I think we've continued that direction.  If you want to come Lincoln and see missed shots and stuff like that, we're right there, baby.  You can go over to gate 25 afterwards and get something to eat. 
But it's just one of those things that‑‑ defense has got to be our calling card. 
 
Q.  I'm sure you've been asked this in a lot of different ways, but do you approach the season any differently with your players when maybe there is a level of expectation from last year that now you're going to try and replicate or pass?  Do you talk to them any differently about this season?
TIM MILES:  Well, am I meaner to them you mean?  I think it's important that the guys understand that your college experience only happens once.  Take every day, live in every moment, embrace it, and try and get better every day.  That's kind of how we try and stay in the moment all the time.  Expectations are what they are, but nobody should have higher expectations for us than ourselves.  The one thing I'll tell you about this group is I think they remember blowing an 18 point lead to Ohio State in the Big Ten Tournament.  They lost their mojo, did not practice the next week going into the NCAA Tournament, did not play well against Baylor, at least for the portion that I was there, and then‑‑ don't ask me about that.  I'll get fined. 
Where was I? 
But I think they remember the way the season ended rather than that big run that put them in a very good position.  Because, honestly, we were 11 out of 13 or something like that, and that's a championship‑style run, which is pretty cool.  But that's not what we remember, and that's not what they remember.  They put in the work like they're still picked dead last. 
 
Q.  Looking back at last season, the success you had at home, is there any one thing you can attribute that to?
TIM MILES:  Well, our venue is unbelievable.  It's a state‑of‑the‑art place.  It carries noise really well.  It's not built for hockey, it's built for basketball, so you don't have the slow grade going out and then your level 200 and 300 people 50 yards back.  Everybody is right on it.  It's really like an old‑time coliseum that way, and our fans bought in.  They believed in‑‑ first of all, they wanted to see the new building, and we sold it out.  I bought 3,000 tickets, as you well know.  We made sure that we had a fan base that was strong.  Nebraska fans are so supportive that they made it a difficult place to play. 
We practiced there for the first time the other day, and we shot the ball better than we'd shot all year.  I think the guys truly believe it's just somewhere special to play. 
 
Q.  Last year's schedule was a little odd for a relative newcomer in Nebraska where you only played Iowa and Minnesota once.  Going forward, you're going to have eight single plays and five double plays.  Do you feel like Nebraska has the opportunity to develop rivalries or are they going to have to be instead of border, they're going to be organic?
TIM MILES:  If I say enough dumb stuff, we'll have rivalries, so I think it really depends on that.  I wish we'd play our border schools more.  Last year we played Iowa the first game of the year, and then I honestly don't know that I watched them again.  And if I recall right, I think they were on the other side of the bracket in the Big Ten Tournament, so I don't even think I watched much there, either.  I didn't even see Franny's team play very much after they beat us. 
We don't like that, but I believe that that's not going to change.  I believe that the way the ACC and the Big Ten are doing it is probably going to stay that way.  I don't believe you'll see us like in football playing east and west or northwest and southeast or whatever the heck.  That's just the way it is.  Hopefully, as often as possible we get those border schools, but as far as rivalries, yeah, because we're a newcomer it's hard to say who our rival is.  And I'm new to the league, too, but, certainly, when you look at recruiting and you look at where you go, where you get your kids from, you want to be able to play those people as often and possible and beat them.
