Free throws and Petteway has to work on his shooting. The good news is that I think we have some guys available next year that can put the ball in the hole. Rivers gave us everything he had but man he was a marginal scholarship guy. What was he? 1/6 from the line? I thought his freshman year that he was a complete waste of a scholarship but Miles got more out of him than I could have ever imagined. Petteway really struggled from the field once again.Originally posted by BetterRed:
Work on those free throws over the Summer, too.
Yep. Tough year for Petteway and Pitchford both. I think Petteway looked like he's been playing with the weight of the world on his shoulders.Originally posted by huskerbaseball13:
Petteway goes 5 for 22 from the field. He has been brutal during our losing streak.

Didn't know he was that old. I realize he had the transfer year. But he had such a bad season wouldn't you think he'd need to come back? I'm just rhetorically asking, If he wants to play more basketball, where's he going to go? Right now, I'm not sure he's good enough for the NBA D-League.Originally posted by 4.6.3:
I give it about a 10 percent chance Pettaway is back. Just a gut feeling. Guy will be 24 years old

I wonder if he will want to hang in the states because of his mom's treatment though. Either way, the kid obviously had a lot on his plate this year.Originally posted by 4.6.3:
I don't think it matters. Overseas teams pay plenty.

You talkin' about Petteway or Nebrsaka?Originally posted by Tulsa Tom:
It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings.
Sure, we could. I might also hit the lottery, too. If I decide to play it, that is. But as far as that fat lady goes......she's warming up.Originally posted by Tulsa Tom:

We would just end up turning it over ....Still have UNO hockeyOriginally posted by Tulsa Tom:

Do you think he actually believes what he types or just more of the usual trolling?Originally posted by HuskerTimOmaha:
I think he needs to become more of a players' coach

Just stop
Not interested in more of the same next year. Maybe you are ok with it but I'm not. Evaluation of oneself is a good thing.Originally posted by HuskerTimOmaha:

Miles has proven to be a great coach at a number of stops. However, he should take at least a little of the blame here. As we all know making adjustments is key not only from game to game but season to season. He wasn't able to motivate this team. They should have been far better than the record indicates. A players' coach might not always work out, but those teams usually don't implode over a course of a whole season.Originally posted by 4.6.3:
I like how the lying, trolling preacher thinks he knows what Miles is all about by peering through a TV to watch an occasional game from a couple states away. Good stuff here from the clown who hasn't seen Lincoln since the IBA days.

Thanks. I don't think BTN.com likes listing the network when it's not televised through them.Originally posted by huskerbaseball13:
ESPN2. That's going to be an ugly game. For both teams.

All that said ... I think we also need to acknowledge that it is very hard to win consistently in college hoops unless you cheat. Look at Syracuse and North Carolina right now. Do we think those two "elite" basketball schools are an aberration? Was listening to ESPN radio yesterday and one of the talking head commentators on the call in show said that everybody knew back in the day that John Wooden cheated his ass off at UCLA.
My point ... we have to give Miles time to build this thing. We are one of the worst basketball programs in the history of D-1 sports. And a lot of cheating is going on out there that the NCAA ignores. So if Miles wants to do this right (and I am certain he does) we have to give him a lot of time.
After the build up I thought that you were going to say that we need to give Miles time to hone his cheating skills, which would be fine with me!
No. He needs Hammond and Smith to get stronger and better during the off season. He needs Webster to make and shoot shoot several thousand shots this summer. He needs White to be the shooter most think he can be. Pitchford needs to exorcise his demons and get his ass in better shape. He needs a couple of the new kids coming in to be ready to play and I think they will be. It appears we are getting immediate scoring help at point and in the paint. I expect us to be a much improved offensive team next year.Originally posted by NUSouth:
I think he needs new players. 12 of them. Starting a bunch of freshmen seems to work for duke.
