He/the Cavs haven't been public about what exactly is going on but Lue has some sort of illness/health issue that has caused him to have to leave games at points.

I hope it's not serious.

This confirms that Lue is coming to Nebraska #factsfromtherss

No, health problems were chest pains, not bowel blockage...

And Hoiberg is going to be recruiting coordinator.   Helluva team.

Lue has also been coughing up blood, team sources told ESPN's Dave McMenamin.

Fired this morning. I guess management didn't think there'd be a dropoff when LBJ left.

Canned just six games into his head coaching career. 

 

That’s kind of a bummer.

And surpasses Ernie Kent's number on the Moos' quick-dial list.

Is it too much to ask that Miles ask him back for home games, or, he’s asked about future roles? He has so many resources that could help the program.

I wonder if he wants to continue to coach.  The pressure he endured last year manifested into medical problems.  There likely is a number of NBA teams that could be interested, if he is interested.

I wonder if Luke Walton has room for another assistant.

The Cavs still owe Lue $15 million

[hskr4life]

Maybe with his health problems, he would like something less taxing than a head coach position.  I am sure the University could find something..... A guy can hope...

Cavs players are pissed over Ty Lue being fired. (Via @joevardon )

my preference is to obviously have miles win 25 games this year and get a 10 year extension, 

 

but if for some reason things go badly Lue would be a dream hire here.

Serious question.

 

Would it be, though?

Has he ever recruited - no

Has he dealt strictly with 18 to 22 year olds - no

Has he needed to deal with NCAA rules - no

Has he lead a college program - no

Has he won a world championship - yes

Do you know of any coaches who only ever coached in the NBA until taking a college job and had success there? Just asking 'cause I don't know.

The name people hold up to the light as a shining example of an NBA coach finding success at the college level is Avery Johnson.  But it appears now that he's cheating his balls off at 'Bama so maybe take it with a grain of salt.

 

Otherwise, I dunno.  I'm sure there's been one or two.

i'm not sure what Tyronn Lue plans to do with the rest of his life.  What I don't ever want to see is him become the next Eddie Jordan.

I just went through, pretty much, this exact line of questioning in my head before comming back to check this thead. Came with the same answers as you.

Other thoughts -

To me he's a NBA guy. In my biased oppinion they're college guys and NBA guys. And if there is an exception its going the other way.

I don't believe he would want to. Seems like a city guy. Biased opinion as well. I grew up in a small town. Live in Southern California now. I absoultly would not move back to Lincoln. I think hes cut from the same cloth.

How good of a coach is he? I really don't know. Haven't the foggiest idea. Not my expertise.

Our chances of getting Bronie Jr. might just go up. Not so sure about Wade that didn't go to well. If he became our head coach I wouldn't be super against it not taking anything with Miles into account. As an assistant I'd be 100% on board high risk maybe but I think we'd end up with a crazy high reward. 98% sure it wouldn't happen though.
