Norm Peterson

According to ISU's website, he arrived in January of '17. Not sure how that affects his eligibility if he only redshirted one semester.

I like the color of the floor at the Big Ten tourney this year. Make the lane a different shade or color inside the 3-point line, but the base color of the floor -- raw, natural wood, or bleached even -- would be my preference.

Jervay's ability to hit treys off the bounce is a skill he could really leverage in Hoiberg's offense where they apparently don't waste time working the ball around very long into the shot clock. I would think he'd look at this new system and figure he'd fit pretty well here.

I wanna say I said something about this back in maybe November or December.

There has to be a "hold my beer" line in here somewhere.

Oh, Mr. Rosenthal, THAT is clever. You still read this board, apparently.

My gate swings a ... different direction than that, actually. But Coach Amy ain't bad. And if Cook ever retires, is there any way they can hire KRob? I mean if looks is among the criteria ...

I'm sticking with Norm Peterson. You all probably expected that.

I called it when he was a junior in high school. I said potential lottery pick. You all can go back and check his recruiting thread. If he's a first round pick, he SHOULD leave. He'd be nuts to come back. Go make some bank in the NBA, finish your degree on your time, and when it's time to hang the sneakers up, go be a coach or a color guy on ESPN. And, Isaiah, it was very nice to have known you and you'll always hold a special place in Husker hoops history.

Bruce's dad could have handled it a bit better. If HS coach tells player "hey, college coach has a point here" there might have been a different outcome. Obviously, it didn't bother the Arops as much as it bothered the Chubicks.

I so agree on the "left, right" chant when someone on the other team has fouled out. Opposing players have figured out how to time sitting down so that it maximizes the distraction to our own player shooting free throws. Why would you do that?

You seem to have good math skills. You want to venture a guess as to how much Hoiberg gets paid for sitting on the throne?

Especially if they paid him 3/365 of what they would have paid Hoiberg for a year.

That tweet by Bruce was passive-aggressive beta male stuff. Glad he deleted. None of the guys from that era appear to share his view. In fact, Beau Ried and Dave Hoppen put out tweets that were very complimentary about how Miles welcomed former players.

Could add another 3,000 seats.

No, I'm serious. Take a bow. You had the goods.

Spike the ball; take your victory lap. I would like to say that someone on this board told @Huskerpapa and me that it was a locked-up, done deal that had nothing to do with the Bounds announcement back when you were hedging that the Bounds announcement could put a wrench in the plans. If that person wants to come on here and take a bow, I'll leave it up to that person. But @Huskerpapa can verify that it's true.

OK, Hoistradamus, which players are staying and going?

I should add there have been guys who I thought were going to be and/or deserved to be fired but I've never liked joining in the public piling on. After we lost to Creighton in Barry Collier's last season, I knew he was gone and was astonished when the AD didn't fire him. But even though I was on-board with canning Collier, I got sick and tired of the constant "fire this guy" comments on every thread after every game. I loved Doc Sadler, but it got to a point where he had no recruiting momentum and wasn't bringing in the players he needed in order to compete at this level. And while I thought he was a good coach in basically all other respects, I knew his recruiting had become his undoing here, and I accepted that he was going to be on his way out. Still, I refused to join in the public celebration of a guy getting fired. I think Tim Miles had this program on the cusp of getting where we hoped to go. Some people want to call me a "Miles apologist" even when I've readily admitted he has holes in his game. And I wasn't about to be satisfied trading Tim off for some other rising mid-major-type guy to come in here and fiddle around for 6 years before being shown the door. As I said above, this is the first basketball coach we've hired in my lifetime who we aren't pinning our hopes on potential. This guy's been there. He's done it. And I'm good with that.

I said in the past and I'll say it again: I back the guy who's currently at the helm of the program I've been cheering for since childhood. I'll miss the hell out of Tim Miles. I think he was a great face to put on the program. But Tim will be OK. Looks like Hoiberg is the guy now. Like Frost, there's a Lincoln connection. You'd expect him to be a "cultural" fit in the sense that he would know and understand the kind of people we are who go out and cheer this team on, game after game, season after (heart-breaking) season. I guess the biggest thing for me is that there's no wondering if he can do it at this level. This is the first coach we've hired in my lifetime who's actually done it at this level. So, this is not a case of trading Tim Miles for whatever's behind door #3. We've picked up more of a known quantity this time around. I think that's a good thing. Time to see what he can do. Beginning with recruiting.

Happy b-day Auror-Man.

That's not why he was suspended.

I would move Thomas Allen up the list. I've seen him play against D1 competition. I've not seen Jervay or Dachon do so. I can understand the temptation to elevated them up the list of priorities, but I think Thomas Allen belongs right behind Roby.

Ty's a little late to the party. "What? They're going to pay $4 million a year? I'd take that job."

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