Excellent hire, this will pay dividends in all aspects. I'm very impressed with Miles being able to bring this guy in here.

The last 3 assistant hires for Miles have been a long-time coach from Georgetown, a 33-yr vet coach & former head coach for more than a decade and, now, a rising coach in the profession from the Univ. of Florida. And, the departing coaches went back to their alma mater in the B1G, one became a Div. 1 head coach and another is an associate head coach in their preferred region to eventually be a head coach.  That, my folks, is a HUGE departure from the likes that Doc & Barry brought in & left Lincoln. HUGE pickup by Miles & Co. Now, let's get that 'big'~!

I thought this video was appropriate.

I'll take it.  Would have liked a former D-1 head coach.

Oh,   You mean one on the way down? 

(no offense implied toward Coach Molinari; Summit League to P-5 is an upgrade!)

g3 must have forgotten that Nebraska already has a former head coach as an assistant, who was hired a mere one year ago! In fact, he's now a 34-year veteran coach with a decade of head coaching experience, no less...

Waited to announce until after Dickerson got his release.

Gotta love this hire.

Continually disappointed I never got an interview.... New year same story!

This is probably the end of our international recruiting efforts and I even think that Harriman flips Pinder to New Mexico when it's all said and done. Tapping into the NJ/NY and potentially into Florida is a nice addition to our recruiting footprint. Burno is the type of quality up and coming assistant I figured Miles would land and I'd suspect his next move might be head coach in 2+ years.

I'll take Jennifer Anniston but wanted Sandra Bullocks

We got one of those already, actually.

I would suggest that it might be a good idea to edit the title of this thread.

Burns to Burno.

Bueno?

I often think Mcdermott could use a little X and O help from a D1 coach as well.  But we are talking Nebraska basketball here. 

Reports: Florida's Rashon Burno Joins Tim Miles' Nebraska Basketball Staff - Corn Nation

Good Article on new Coach Burno! 

Here's a link to the article referenced in the CornNation article elaborating how much Coach Burno had to overcome to reach his objectives.   Tim Miles has got a good one!   

 

Hurley understands true hardship when he sees it. He saw it in Burno, the young man who arrived at St. Anthony’s door with no parents, not much money, and very few possessions beyond the clothes on his back and the ball in his hands.

 

Burno was just 7 when he lost his mom, his primary caregiver, and only a few months older when his father, an occasional presence in his life, died too.
