Visited UMass. Going to visit St Joes. Hasn't ruled out Nebraska yet. https://www.syracuse.com/sports/2019/04/the-latest-on-mika-adams-woods-and-his-college-basketball-commitment.html

Do you suppose they will interrupt the players as they come onto the field today, so that Hoiberg can enter the field from the other side? (Think Frost introduction at KU basketball game)

Shoot, let's just go all out and fill out the entire basketball staff with living ex-coaches. What positions would match up below? Remember, we need strength coaches, student managers, video, etc. They don't all have to be assistants:) Anyone want to give a try? Moe - Danny- Barry- Doc- Tim-

What is a special assistant anyway? Sounds like a consultant.

We might want to get stats on his shot percentage with the BB gun before we get too serious with him.

Watching what happened to Isaac this past year has to be on the back of his mind.

I'm in the 300 level, where seats are roughly $6 per game and the price has hardly moved in 20 years, with no donation. I'm expecting it and don't mind.

I love that open concourse. Here I go again. Don't change it!

This is one thing I wish they would not change at all. Love our court the way it is.

You don't need a tweet. Now it's official...

Great news! Can't help but to notice that just as USA had Bush 41 and Bush 43, Nebrasketball now has Bush 21 and Bush (Hoiberg) 28.

You think that's hype, Handy.... Wait til you see the white smoke billowing from PBA once the new coach is anointed.

I see Mike Anderson of Arkansas was let go today. My first choice is Hoiberg, but this guy might not be a bad 2nd choice. .685 winning percentage at UAB. .661 at Missouri and .624 at Arkansas. Don't know what went south at his alma mater, but what do the rest of you think of him as plan B or C?

Miles is handling this whole situation with a lot of class. Not surprised at that. Imagine Bobby Knight in the same situation.

Don't take my story as being anti-Moos, or anti-Hoiberg, Hoi. I hope everything works out for everyone. The intent was to inject a little humor while we wait. And wait....

This story is taking on Sallie-esque overtones. Indulge me for a minute while an experienced Husker fan shares what could happen by the end of March: 1. Hoiberg signs a contract agreeing to become NU's next head coach. Moos keeps the signed contract at his house in a flour jar in the kitchen cabinet. 2. Moos fires Miles and his staff. 3. The recruiting scandal at U of Arizona blossoms and Sean Miller is fired. The A.D. decides to go for a coach with a clean image. Miles is approached and hired. 4. Hoiberg is approached by other schools indirectly, but Hoiberg says "Sorry, I've already signed a contract with another school." 5. LSU approaches Greg McDermott, who is interested. LSU hires McDermott. 6. Moos catches wind that it is Boehms' birthday. Asks his wife to bake Marc Boehm a birthday cake, which he will bring to the office the next day. 7. Moos calls in his staff and everyone he can find in the hallway to come in and enjoy a little cake celebrating Marc's birthday. Moos does the honors of cutting the first piece. 8. Staff members look on in horror as Moos pulls out remnants of the Hoiberg contract out of the cake, which is now worthless (the contract, not the cake). 8. A staff member instragram's a photo of the cake with the remnants of the contract. The story becomes public. 9. Rasmussen quickly approaches Hoiberg, who agrees to become the next coach at Creighton. 10. A humiliated Moos, resumes the coaching search, signing Ernie Kent to a 5 year contract. These are the things that happen to Nebraska basketball, my friends. Brace yourselves.

Kent did say "hopefully will see you all next fall" so that's good.

Yeah, my sentiments exactly.

Kent is being very reflective. Gotta wonder if he just called his last game. Who knows.

FWIW. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/alabama-football/iowa-state-coach-alabama-alum-steve-prohm-addresses-crimson-tide-job-speculation/ “There’s nothing to say. I want to be the best coach at Iowa State, that’s it,” Prohm said. “My athletic director (Jamie Pollard) is standing right there, he knows that. I love this job. I’m blessed to be here, first and foremost. I love Amex. There is no story. I’m trying to be the best coach at Iowa State and see if I can be here for a long, long time.”

Sipple weighs in....

Well, there you go. If the Hoiberg thing falls through, pick up Benford, and we'll have ourselves a non mid-major hire with an NCAA win on his resume.

Ohio St had a similar experience to ours in 1986 and handled it a different way. By the way, Moe Iba's contract was allowed to run out this same season after leading NU to it's first NCAA tournament. The Huskers beat Ohio St in the Sun Bowl classic that year.

Maybe we should check FlightAware logs for any pending Des Moines=>Lincoln or Chicago=>Lincoln charters.
