uneblinstu's postgame chatter: vol 11; ed 31 - Iowa

Trueblood. If he doesn’t make that steal, the latter doesn’t occur -
Miles is retained what does the team look like

I prefer a hope of winning over mediocrity -

Theres going to be turnover here regardless. And maybe we are slightly better next year with Miles, because he keeps Green. Maybe. This change isn’t about winning 13 games instead of 10 next year -

We’re going through a rebuild if Miles is here or not -

Sadly...2 for 12 has been pretty close to his average over the last 2 months -
The same way you meet someone in a hotel in Philadelphia

If it’s Hoiberg. I think it is March 21 or before. We’d want to get him on board so the news will create a buzz during the NCAA tournament Plus we don’t have to wait for his season to be over to interview him
-
There's still a spot for him here if he wants to stay. I'd prefer he stay but I know it's not likely for us to not have someone move on
-
Wont disagree with that. Part of the reason why I think he was likely to leave, regardless of who is coaching next year
-
I think he has shown the ability to shoot in spurts. Shot selection was a bit questionable at times but I think under different circumstances, he'd fare quite a bit better
-
He'll never be a star but he can be a legit role player.
-
Whether Miles is/was retained or not...odds are an existing player was transferring and Nana always fit the mold for that player
-
Don’t even think it was the RPI. Think it was more the random KPI one. The seeding nearly identically followed that
-
Lewis could take over. But not sure anyone really wants to go through the motions of that considering what are hopes were for this season. That being said...I think Iowa rolls us and we lose to Penn State so it's an irrelevant conversation.
-
I think if we lose on Wednesday. It's official by lunch on Friday at the latest. Especially if there are any legs to the Hoiberg rumors.
-
Unlikely considering we’ll be searching for a coach at that time
-
Not advocating for a lateral move...but staying with Miles only digs the hole deeper with this program. That's not meant to be a slight on Miles more than what we already know of him. It's meant that things will only get worse. If people are using administrative support as an excuse now....that only goes down if he's retained. Local media and fan base will become restless and apathetic creating a toxic culture (even moreso) around the program. If people think the existing contract situation has hindered recruiting, it only gets worse after this if he is retained. If nothing else, the new coach, lateral or not, will be starting fresh, which we need at this point.
-
Highly doubt we go to the NIT, even if we somehow finish above .500

Clearly that NCAA in year 2 didn't help that much because he parlayed it into losing seasons in 4 of the next 5 (assuming this year ends as expected). Off the top of my head, Barry and Doc had 4 losing seasons combined in 12 years. Miles has matched that in the last 5. Stats can work both ways. Again, I want to be clear...I do not think Miles is worse than Doc/Collier. I also don't think he is better either. He had higher highs and lower lows and it balances itself out. One thing I will say though about Miles, is that his high water marks at least instill some belief and hope that this program can be successful. Collier and Sadler could never really lay that claim. And at the end of the day...there isn't much difference in the grand scheme of things between 16-18 and 17-14.
-
Don't get me wrong. The intent wasn't trying to paint one guy as a success and the other a failure. The point I was trying to make was it isn't just a game or two of a difference. Assuming we lose the next two...Miles would essentially have to go 25-7 next year to raise his winning percentage to match Doc's. I certainly think it's fair to acknowledge the scheduling differences that Miles and Sadler faced. Miles certainly faced tougher slates. But his results represented that too. It's not like he had the same results vs. the tougher schedules. At the end of the day, I view both of them in the same light.
-
Our schedule has been tougher under MIles than with Doc. Never debated that. It's a fact. I just have to weigh it with other facts though. Facts like having a significantly worse record. Facts like having significantly better resources. Facts like having some very bad non-con losses. The credit I give him for playing a tougher schedule is negated by some of the other factors. I certainly don't think he is any worse than Doc/Collier. But I don't view his tenure as being supremely better than Doc or Collier either.
