Just throwing out some data points to try to bridge the gap of comparing the two sports...

It's also easier to get a 0.500+ season in football than it is in basketball. # of 0.500+ teams in FBS football last season: 79 (62% of teams) # of 0.500+ teams in Div I basketball last season: 197 (56% of teams)

I can buy that Moos might have his "wait until the end of the season" philosophy. It's also easier to fire two coaches that you mentioned who both had a 4-8 record when there is no postseason versus firing Miles who has a postseason. That's the part where it becomes typical behavior to either decline a bid or let the assistants take over the postseason. Not saying Moos' is right, wrong, or indifferent. But it's certainly not standard practice in this industry.

This would certainly be out of the norm, but nice of Moos to do so if that were the case. It also makes me wonder what kind of agreement Moos supposedly has with his future coaching prospect(s) while this tournament is going on.

He's already on some lists. I saw somewhere that if things don't work out with Matta/UNLV, then Miles would be one of a handful pursued for that job.

If that's already decided, why keep him around?

It's much harder to get disappointed when you have:

This is what I'm hearing.

How do we get the budget for 1,000 tear-away pants for the student section for the Iowa game?

Preferably not zombie steaks though...

Ever since the NCAA bought out the NIT, it's always been an afterthought. I have a feeling they care more about matchups than they do about spending the time trying to analyze metrics to provide a fair and balanced bracket. It's almost like we should go back to the NIT days where they didn't aside any seeds in the brackets.

He felt the need to address the alcohol rumors. He might be feeling some similar pressure here as well.

I've heard contractual terms were agreed to. But again, this is a big fiasco. Who knows if the sky is up or down at this point.

Different committees, different criteria. I wouldn't put too much stock into trying to compare the seedings between two seasons.

Exactly. Puts a little more dependence on keeping those assistants happy or finding suitable replacements when they leave. That's why I'm curious to see how the contract shakes up. Not for the next coach, but for the rest of the staff. The administration did make some bigger strides with Miles' staff compared to the rest of Nebrasketball history.

I thought they cancelled the season for a minute...

Definitely have the resources for him to succeed much more than those other places that would also easily make him a legend.

What happened to the priest and the rabbi?
