Interesting how national basketball folks think so much more of Miles than some of the "message board authorities".
I agree that I was very excited for the first few years Miles was at Nebraska. 2014 was a great year and our team really seemed to exceed expectations. We looked like an over achieving well coached team. Since then I have not seen the same execution and success even though we appear to have a more talented team. I am not sure if it is a coincidence or not but as soon as Asst Coach Craig Smith left for the HC Job at South Dakota it seemed that we have regressed. Could he have been the type of Asst Coach that Miles needs to succeed at this level? Smith really seemed to be his Right Hand Man over the years.
Ha! Thanks for the good laugh. Gettin worked up over inquiries on 5th year transfers in 2017 is a complete joke. Feel free to continue to make a mountain out of this fiction, but you're completely lost on that BS rationale. It's cool tho, you are obviously very concerned about your anonymous online ego. Good luck with that.
Agreed, there are no guarantees that any coach is going to succeed. Look at Shaka Smart at Texas, most thought that was a slam dunk hire since he took mid-major VCU to a Final Four and the NCAA tournament six times...yet he is now struggling at a school that has more money than anyone. Bruce Pearl has done nothing at Auburn yet in 3 years. I thought John Groce was a great hire for Illinois at the time and he will likely be fired in a couple of weeks.
I guess the point was that Altman was one of the youngest major-conference head coaches ever at K-State, and he showed some potential then even if the overall record wasn't great. And he no doubt improved a lot between 1986 and 2000, and 2006. The state of Nebraska is not a hotbed for producing great basketball coaches, so I think it's a shame that we missed out on a really good one who grew up so close to Lincoln.
Miles may still get it done here, good recruiter but not entirely sold on his overall coaching abilities. One thing I think limits him is that he was never a D-I assistant so he never had that mentor to learn from that so many of the great coaches had before they became head coaches. I can't think of any other major-conference coaches who were not D-I assistants at some point in their careers before becoming head coaches. I guess you could argue Hoiberg, but he worked with an NBA franchise so that's not really comparable. Miles had zero experience of any kind at the major level when we hired him, so sometimes I think he is out of his league at this level. So much of coaching at this level is being able to manage big egos and build team chemistry between those egos. It's much easier to do that at a D-II or mid-major school where everyone hasn't been told their whole life that they're going to the NBA.
Nice to see you back bubbles(gum). I forgot Miles is your guy..but your familiar posting style, name calling/ego thumping/labeling take me back & know I remember. Thanks for that. In the face of the actual results by your boy over the last six years, you seem to find yourself on an island in defending that guy. That's either loyalty or shear utter stupidity. Again, if we could get something better I'd say go for it-but the reality is we can't.
I like the new name. It's almost like putting a legendary coach in there, or just the initals, but one would have to be a real d-bag to do that and I know you're way better than that

You don't need authority to know that three straight losing seasons is no bueno. As Tim Miles/Bill Parcells says...you are what your record says you are. And in the last three years Miles is 41-51(19-36Sick ). 17 games under .500 in conference play is not going to win you any favors.

Look at this blotard wine and cheese thinking he's funny. You calling anyone stupid is pure awesomeness as you sucked off Peelini and his pile of garbage till the very end. And if I felt like pressing your weak *** buttons, you'd meltdown, old school style.
I couldn't give two ***** less if Miles returns or not. I'm renewing my hoops tickets like I have 13 of the last 14 seasons.
It must really suck to be you.

I agree. If next year ends up like this, I'd have to say it should be Miles last. It's hard not to like the guy, and I believe he gives his best, but if things do end up on a negative note at the end of 2018, it's time to look elsewhere. But I hope he does have an incredibly good season for 2017-18.
