I wonder who the coaches with "powerhouse credentials" were who didn't get a opportunity to interview for the women's job.

Speculation of Chris Dailey at UCONN was one of the candidates that reached out to someone affiliated with Nebraska. I have no idea if it's accurate or not but personally believe it was just that, speculation.
If there's two thinsg I learned over the years about Lee, (1) it's he doesn't just write articles to write them and (2) he's dialed in nationally with basketball.
Pinnacle Bank Arena was never sold primarily as a new home for Nebraska basketball. It was sold as Lincoln needing a new arena to replace aging, outdated and small Pershing Auditorium. Nebraska basketball being the primary tenant at the Arena was pretty much an obvious deal that would benefit both the university and the city.Others here would know better than I, but Boehm seems anxious to claim a lot of credit when it comes to Pinnacle Bank Arena. I'm more inclined to think that Lincoln really, really, really needed an anchor tenant for the arena it wanted to build, and NU basketball happened to be the only serious candidate. At that point, of course the city is going to accommodate NU's needs in order to secure an agreement to play there.
Some Lincoln residents probably did vote for the arena because they saw it as a way for NU basketball to finally break free from its history of mediocrity. So in that respect, maybe Boehm did help put it over the top.
I've said Miles should get year six....but, he's given Eichorst enough to think about going in a different direction. I guess we will find out in a few weeks.
I've been on record saying 7 years. Doc Sadler was the absolute worst recruiter in the Big 12/10. Had Shavon Shields not been a legacy in Tim's first year, that team would've been the absolute least talented Big Ten team in league history.
I believe Tim sold his soul a bit to win in year 2. He needed all those transfers, who hated each other btw, to somehow show HS recruits the Huskers were truly committed to winning. HS basketball recruiting is a crazy business. Elite talents are identified as 9th graders. Bill Self has relationships with those kids at age 15. They can sign at age 16.
It was a 5 year process just to build a Big Ten roster. Now he can actually mesh transfers with legit top 150 HS players all over the roster. Fans who want to run that coach off right now are nuts.
Yeah I don't disagree with any of this, I'm just struggling to figure out the ostensibly major role that Marc Boehm played in making sure PBA was a "basketball-first" arena. I'm fairly certain it was never going to be a hockey-first or rodeo-first or monster truck rally-first arena, so it seems like a good story he's spinning.Pinnacle Bank Arena was never sold primarily as a new home for Nebraska basketball.

The way it is, we already have him.I'm guessing he will stay at least one more year. But as we know, if you fire a coach, you better have your plan together for a replacement. We don't want Doc Sadler II
Doesn't SE have a policy about not commenting on coaches during the season? It's a good policy BTW.
Not that it's scientific or anything, but the World Herald had a poll up and over 90% of the responses supported Miles getting another year.Honestly, other than a few message board posters here and there, is there really that many people calling for Miles to be fired? Or is it just journalists stirring crap up?
So, out of their 10 suscribers, 9 of them support Miles?Not that it's scientific or anything, but the World Herald had a poll up and over 90% of the responses supported Miles getting another year.
