I can see both sides of the argument. When you look at the numbers I am not sure he has accomplished as much as many believe he has. Do we want Tim Miles to be to Nebraska like Mike Riley is to Oregon St ? Just because we don't have a historic program should we just accept this as the best it can get?
Tim Miles Record:
Total-97-96
Record vs ranked opponents( 8W-34L)
vs top 10 (2-13)
vs top 5 (0-6)
In comparison here is what Doc did:
Total 101-89
Record vs ranked opponents (8W-27L)
vs top 10 (2-16)
vs top 5 (1-7)
I honestly don't have a preference either way. Nebraska basketball is a tough place to recruit and have success. People think it is hard to recruit to Neb for football it is 10 times worse for basketball. Football at least has a historic past. Basketball has nothing. Could Miles get this program built up in another 10 years, that is the question.
