Very Very Very Dumb post........ and that is being kind. If I were you, I would delete it and hope only a few people saw it.... I am entitled to my opinion my friend, regardless who likes or doesn't like it. If you wish we had Sadler back, then please elaborate... Well it is pretty darn obvious that no one likes your posts, so you have that going for you I guess. I did not once say that I wanted Doc back. The only thing I want is for people like you to stop knocking on a great guy. There was 0 reason for you to start this topic... 0. It was honestly one of the dumbest topics I have seen posted in a while. Hence my first post. Oh I see, I should only post opinions that people like. OK, my bad, missed that one in the board rules... Surprisingly touchy, as Bill Parcells once said "you are who your record says you are"....but what does he know anyway?

Huh?

5-8 overall 0-2 conference Whew, thank god it's not us anymore!

Barry Collier's bottled water- sip, sip....get blown out.....get a buyout. Anyone else remember that?

Iowa is a talented team. I think we could play close, maybe get them in the end if we play our card right.

No, I don't see a realistic reason for NCAA tourney action for our team or yours. Yeah, you guys beat us, and congrats on that, but it must be small comfort to you after losing three of your last 4, most recently an 8 point drubbing at Providence. And, let's be honest, Providence isn't exactly the Indiana Hoosiers. By the way, you better hope you can get DePaul at home; otherwise, you face a good chance of going 0-for January in conference play. That hissing sound might be the 4 tires on your bus. In fairness, Norm, and I'm certainly not calling you out here because this is a pretty troll-ish thread, but Coach Miles admitted himself after the Creighton game that he was out-coached and put the loss on his own shoulders. That he was out-coached by Crean is certainly up for debate and a matter of opinion, but seeing how Miles is 2-2 against Crean at Nebraska, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. Did you intend to quote this post or were you intending to quote a different post of mine in this thread? I didn't say anything at all about Miles being outcoached or not outcoached by Doug McDermott's dad. Not in this post or any other in this thread. The only one where I mentioned a claim of Miles being outcoached was with respect to the claim that he was outcoached by Crean. But that was in a different post, not this one. Norm, So as a follow up to you point and comment that you didn't say or not say Miles was outcoached by McDermott....so I'll ask. In your opinion did McDermott outcoach Miles or not? What do you think? In terms of specific coaching points that I have seen us under coached on: 1) When zone pressing, NEVER let the ball in the middle of the court. Seen it way too many times this year. Fundamental. 2) I would be running pressure man on Indiana's guards, and sagging middle on any weakside pass. We do a terrible job of fronting the middle flash in both man and zone, this is easy to coach, but you gotta be able to ID the need. 3) Yes, our turnover problem can be coached out. 4) If you have a player on the court that need not be guarded, you can't play him at this level. Benny should be receiving 10min a game if he can't score unguarded.

Look, I and you saw an NCAA tourney team last year....returning virtually 90% of its scoring. We haven't stepped up our game one bit, in fact, we've stepped it back. Intelligent fans don't have to be blind ones, and vice-versa. My opinion was sweet 16ish pre-season, not expecting to see such poor execution and a lack of ball dicipline. I believe the evidence is showing that Miles isn't a guy that is going to out scheme anyone, he's a guy requiring superior talent, and I hope his talent is to pull that in. Explain how a well coached team loses AT HOME to Creighton and Incarnate Word??

I understand, no I'm not bailing on the team. At some point, realism sets in, I just am not impressed AT ALL with what I see on the court...players and coaches. Tom Crean outcoached us big time last night, Greg McDermott out coached us big time a month ago, I can't pretend to see progress or a realistic reason for NCAA tourney action. Can you? Be honest.

That's the air officially coming out of our NCAA tourney bubble like a gash on the sidewall of a flat tire. Really disappointing.

With the current RPI, my calculations figure 12 to 13 (including B10 tourney) conference wins will be required to eclipse a sub 50 RPI. I'd say our inexcusable bad losses have led us to one monumental, if not miraculous, task ahead to reach the goals of an NCAA tourney. Falling asleep in December can doom your post season hopes, even with a good conf. season. The loss to our rivals in Omaha will prove ugly at season's end. None the less, we're still in the ballgame. Can't afford ANY home losses from here out. Period.

Bad stretches are not exclusive to Miles. Visit the old HHC message board and you'll have plenty of reading material to last you through 2015. I don't disagree that I'd likely have plenty of reading material. I too, lived through Collier and Sadler. But, you have to get past that, and start evaluating what is in front of you now, in 2014. Our level of expectation should be MUCH higher than what is on the floor. We should be beating non-ranked teams including in-state rivals. Anything less is just not progress.

Miles is really showing weaknesses as a high level coach right now. Good teams, well coached teams just don't go through consistent bad stretches like we do. Anyone who roots for this team should be alarmed.
