Well, this is a terrible start
- Thread starter HuskersMan34
- Start date
Doubtful, I call the agenda crowd out for what they are. The agenda may be changing after tonight anyway.
It's year 3 of the new arena, and year 4 (I believe) of the new practice facilities. I wonder if those that facilitated those projects feel NU is ahead, behind, or right on schedule to deliver what is expected - based on the commitment made to the sport.
I don't think his seat is anywhere near warm. But that may change in year 5-6. I think he will get to try to do something with this freshman class. But, with Miles track record who knows who will still be on the roster in two years
Ehhhhhh...Miles still puts out a better product than the last two guys. Let's see what we do in the conference before talking about hot seats. We have to remember this is basketball...it's not Division 1 football.
I don't know if Miles is the answer, but I don't think he's on the hot seat. He was given a 7 year contract, so this was expected to be a very long-term project. He's doing pretty well on the recruiting trail, so I expect he will be given time to see if he can develop these young players.
But part of me is wondering if Craig Smith was really the brains behind Tim Miles. He was with Miles forever, and we seem to have regressed since he left.

When Smith left Miles needed to hire an assistant with a great offensive mind. Instead we got slow it down Coach Mo.
That is a very good question regarding Smith. USD is doing fairly well this year, and knocked off Minny on the road.
Craig Smith coaches at USD. SDSU is who beat Minny. Not trying to be a cherry picker, newAD. A good point, though, about the Smith & Miles combo.

Did Minnesota lose to both of them? I knew Smith I'd at USD, as I might send my son to one of their camps this summer.

So since you won't answer the question, I'm going to respond with the impression that you are responding to me.
The last CU game I attended in person was the last time Nebraska beat CU in Omaha. That was a generation ago, prior to marriage and children for me. Oh, and I was wearing
red. At the time I had season tickets to Nebraska basketball.
I haven't had season tickets for almost 20 years, not because I don't want to, but because my profession doesn't always allow me to have a normal life.
I hated CU for most my life. Then they hired a guy from Wilber Nebraska. I slowly started to tolerate them over many years. I have sent my son's to some of CU's camps, because we live in Omaha. I have met McDermott numerous times, and I like the man.
I root for CU when they don't play Nebraska. I watch them on TV when they are on. I also watch UNO when they are on TV or ESPN 3, like tonight.
I have a son who I hope can possibly play basketball at a small college. We are basketball fans, and we watch all 3 local D1 teams with interest.
So I have what I feel is an objective and informed opinion about what I see among all 3 teams, but again Nebraska is still #1.
So does that make me a Jay-Ric-Sker??
I'm a basketball fan, who has suffered many decades of watching Nebraska basketball. I still have Nebraska's Big 8 tournament Championship on VHS. I hope to see Nebraska actually make a run in the tourney before I die.
If McDermott leaves CU, I might not hold CU in as high esteem any more, but sorry I don't hate CU (not a fan of a lot of their fans), but I sure as hell dont put my red away in January.
So if this was directed towards me, don't be so ignorant.
No biggie. I didn't realize both SD schools knocked off the Gophers. Wow. Jr's seat might be getting hot? Might need some recruiting tips from pops?
Wouldn't you know it, you responded as I was typing. Just figured it was me since I was the drunk/high, full of horse shit poster in this thread.

I come and go as far as this board is concerned.
You know who HH is, right?
He aint jumping from CU to NU when collier left to butler in 2006.
I'm guessing you mean in 2012 when sadler was fired. Why would he want out of UO?
Miles has brought in the best recruiting classes we've seen since Nee's best classes. We need a stronger big but it looks like at least one of the newcomers may grow in to that. Its the hardest position to recruit. The new kids had a tough game last night but man at least there's talent there now. When officials let the guys like Grozelle get away with hooks and pushing off with their off arm like he did last night, we've got no shot at defending them in the low post. I like this team but its going to take some development.
Show me one hook or push off from Groeselle. No way did he do either on any scoring play. Dude can't hook, because he needs both hands on the ball to keep from losing it when he makes a move. He scored at will because the post defenders continuously allowed him to get baseline position on the left block when everyone knows Groeselle is a left hander. And Miles brought no baseline double team second half. Got a couple of turnovers when someone did double down on him on the baseline in the first half, but they didn't even try second half. Take away the base line side or front him when he is on the left block, or let him catch the ball and bring a double team from the baseline and he doesn't score near as effectively.
Yes, great talent on paper and recruiting sites, can they coach them up to play D 1 ball, is the question.
look at the picture on the bball front page. That's one elbow. I watched the game and Groeselle was hooking and pushing with his elbow just about every time he got the ball in the paint. IF you've ever played in the post against a bigger guy, its pretty damned hard to keep him from going where he wants if he can get an elbow in your chest or a hook. Obviously we've got some things to work on with the kids on their post defense but when we doubled in the first half they also hit threes.
Nobody said it was the refs. Its not uncommon for big men to get away with that and if you're that much smaller than the guy you're trying to defend that is doing it you're screwed. You aren't gonna stop him. "Friendly refs" comment was meant friendly to Creighton's style of play. Doesn't mean the officiating was necessarily unusual, but we didn't handle the style of play being allowed very well. The next set of officials might call it differently. The direct cause of our loss though was the poor offensive output by our supporting cast. We shot terribly and Shields was a complete non-factor. We gave up a bunch of points in the foul fest at the end but our biggest problem was the bricks our guys were throwing up.
