What a joke man. Move on bro. Arop isn’t even playing in his current league. Just face it that Miles did the right thing.

Have you tried viagra??? Seems to help filling out a staff.

He's bitching because he didn't think Miles treated him well. Has to do with the Arop deal, I would assume. It's in another thread around here, somewhere.

Isaiah Roby, in particular, is really a salt-of-the-earth type of kid. He was extremely generous with his time and attention when my 11 year old and I attended the Nebrasketball Buddies at the Hendricks Training Center back in mid-Dec. The Nebrasketballers had just came back from beating Okie St. in Sioux Falls a couple days earlier, and the players could have bolted out the back-door if they so chose after the hubbub of the event that Tuesday night. Glynn and Zay were especially kind and helpful. They signed the memorabilia and took pictures like 2 pros -- I have no doubt in my mind that those 2 dudes are going places. They conducted themselves very, very well that night when they could have snuck out & no one would've been the wiser. And, of course, I had to have a lengthy conversation with Coach Miles and Greg Eaton, who conducts the Summer Camps. Both were more than gracious with their time, as was Coach Gates, who said he LOVED Lincoln--way better than Gainesville, FL (his words!). All in all, I have such fond memories of a couple hours of Nebrasketball Buddies. Credit to Miles & Co. -- they don't cut corners, even on a "fun night" with fans & young ballers !!!!

I still have to pinch myself, thinking its not real, but I just can't see how it's not at this point. The rumors/stories from all over. And it's media, not John Doe on Twitter or Rivals.com. I think it's also telling that there really isn't any sort of rumors out there about other candidates. You have one Arkansas writer mentioning Anderson, some light twitter scuttlebutt about the Bradley guy and Sip's blurb on Lue. That's it. And Sip just a few days ago was basically saying that Hoiberg was a done deal too. If there was truly a search going on, you would be hearing rumors about guys. And I think this has been a done deal for a while.

Both St. John's boards i read today are expecting to lose Matt Abdelmassih when Hoiberg comes here. He's the guy who was landing all the transfers at Iowa St.

Damn. You're old.

If it's that easy, then why hasn't it been done? (Yeah, I know the answer, but still.)

Woj's sources come from the NBA, so I'm guessing that info is coming from the Hoiberg camp. The way it's worded makes me think it won't be announced or "finalized" until next week. Don't think Fred would want to overshadow his son's games this weekend. IMO opinion it's best for all parties (NU / Hoiberg family) to wait until next week anyway. Make it a story leading into Final Four weekend as opposed to getting drowned out by the games this weekend also eliminates the distraction for the younger Hoiberg while his games are being played.

Interesting... That seems quite the opposite sentiment from a handful of other vocal alumni.

If he ends up playing a bunch here I can make a row 14 in the scholarship matrix like the bluejay underground had to when the Jays were smuggling in extra players ?

Woo! I was sweating like a pig over this one. Losing Hoiberg would hurt from Scottsbluff to South Sooey City

Like it or hate it, that's his job. If he fires Miles and hasn't gauged anyones interest, then we're sitting here holding our pud. Everyone said if we can't upgrade with a proven winner then keep Tim, well how would Moos do that if he has no idea who would have interest in the open Nebraska job.

Say what you want about coach miles, he built a hell of a family culture here

If we could get hurt and his brother to grad transfer from Minnesota(rumor is they are a package deal) build the hoiberg statue now.

Soon someone’s going to change their name to AndBall on this board and say this is 100% a sure thing!

In the thread I posted the guy who is connected walked it back and said that Anderson did not visit with Nebraska like he first had suspected. So I don't think there really has been significant contact between the 2. But are we really acting like we're above Mike Anderson? He has won tournament games in all 3 of the programs he's lead, including a Sweet 16 at UAB, an Elite 8 at Missouri and 3 NCAA appearances in his last 5 years at Arkansas. He is a hero at Nebraska if he duplicates any of that at Nebraska and he's also a damn good person.

Nolan Richardson may also be available . But at his age he can only promise 20 minutes of hell.

Damn. Fight back and win one tomorrow.

You mean the most “appreciative.”

That would be #44 Jerry West, the Logo! In my mind anyway.

And SEC is all about CASH. But this time, it let you down....LOL

I agree that a foul should be called at any point in the game. I completely disagree with not having an issue on that one though. 1. Fly by allowed. 2. Kicking leg out not allowed. 3. Kicking leg out caused the contact during the fly by.

Daring, dazzling dreams of a husker fan entranced. Count me bedazzled. #koolaid #Nebrasketball

Airball? He almost made it. That said, I didn't have an issue with the foul call.

yeah they got a free time out to draw up that play

Im a big fan of unless its egregious, you let it play out, the last 10 seconds are always physical. Yes he may of fouled but to let that call decide the game just sucks. Plus like many of the announcers said, letting the teams come off the floor while they take a millennia to review that out of bounds call needs to be changed, the 3rd ref should have both teams stand as far away from the coaches as possible. Im sad Tennessee lost, i know i should want the BIG10 to win....but i really really cant stand purdue

I believe the airball was because he was so off balance from getting hit down low and severe launch angle he had to put on the ball to even get it off.

Have zero issue with Fred waiting til his son's season is over. I'd want that if I were in his shoes, too. Also, if that what it takes to get him, then who am I to quibble about something like supporting family during a lifetime highlight?

How many losses to 16 seeds does Duke have? Talent and Coaching matters.

That “phantom” foul on Tennessee that sent the game to overtime was beyond Bulls**t. Plus, it looked like his heel was out of bounds. That bracket is shot, now I have to hang my hat on Texas Tech, UVA, & Houston in my other 3!

Haha you do you, brother! Lol no biggie on the bracket

And now the prospect of a UVA Tech regional final just made me throw up a little.

Does the combined score of Oregon, Virginia, Michigan, and Tech best the combined score of Purdue and Tennessee?

#NuttCracker ?

Given the current list of proposed of mayoral candidates for Lincoln, I for one, would be willing to cede the election to Fred.

Until we sign the next coach we're on Francon 2 around here.

He has nine tournament wins as a head coach. Not to mention being on Nolan Richardson's staff for 17 years. They won a few tournament games in those years, too. I agree that I'd prefer Hoiberg but this would be far better than the Bradley coach.

I agree I'd rather have Hoiberg. But just weird to see a program whose never won a tourament game thumb their nose at a guy that blows away the resume of any coach we've ever hired.

Um, I'm going to hope that this is another situation like Altman where a coach is trying to use our opening as leverage to extract more money out of their current employer or from another one they may be interviewing with. Being in the "pro-Miles" camp, I can buy off on moving on from him to Hoiberg or some other homerun hire but this just doesn't quite fit the bill. Look, Mike Anderson may be a great coach and it just didn't work out at Arkansas much like it didn't for Miles at Nebraska; however, this would be a huge disappointment to me and really make me wonder why we chose to tear down the foundation Miles had built with a coach who isn't all that much more proven. Also, I hope my use of the semicolon was acceptable ?

I was assured a "home run" hire. I was assured Hoiberg was "N." The fact that we are even having this conversation is ridiculous.

Who, on March 20, would have said they'd trade Tim Miles for Mike Anderson?

I assumed he meant Arkansas might be a landing spot for Miles. Please tell me it's not the other direction.

Amy has a lot of fire this offseason. I think there's a sense they're close and could be pretty good next year if players make "the leap."

I think his athletic ability is slightly overrated a bit. I don't think his lateral quickness is elite. Obviously still a fine athlete.

It's been all Hoiberg for a while, a long while

Tim had his flaws. Big men, offensive scheme, & proper rotations were the main things imo. Tim also left this program far better than when he arrived. Not many Nebraska basketball coaches can say. He did benefit from new facilities, but he recruited his butt off and had the right personality to turn it around. If Nebraska becomes relevant under Hoiberg or whom ever, Tim & TO deserves credit for building the foundation.

I know it was only by a few hours, but you can officially say that Nebraska played longer into March than Iowa. ?

The NCAA tournament is a better place when the Big East teams are all finished by Saturday of the opening weekend.
