I would have concerns. Doesn’t mean I’ve lost it.
Would be an upgrade from Miles but that isn't saying much
I’ll believe it when I see it. He wouldn’t be my first pick, but I would take him for sure.
That’s what I always say. We have nothing to lose. Cheat, pay players, who cares! What are they going to do, take our NIT championship banner away?
All a coach has to do is win one damn NCAA tourney game and he’d be a hero.
I’m interested to hear from folks why they think he would/wouldn’t be a good option.
I almost think you're serious. In fact, I DO think you're serious.
I love it. What have we got to lose? Bring in Bobby Knight, it's only been 30 some years since he threw the chair.

Get this guy and surround him with shady AAU coaches!

No idea on how he would do. My reservations are him never being in college coaching, recruiting being a big deal he doesn’t know much about, and how much did he actually do or how much was Lebron?
My likes are he’s a name kids would recognize, was a well respected assistant in the NBA so I know he has the X’s and O’s, and he can help lock down Nebraska and KC.
We reached out to at least one other big name that was interested that i know of for sure. Makes me think we either chose Lue over the other guy or we at least tried with others.

I’m not sure I’m for or against, but when your HC resume doesn’t include any seasons without Lebron and your winning % during that time basically mirrors Lebron’s career % I have questions about your ability sans Lebron. He was,from all accounts, a solid assistant though.
Gut feeling that other big name said thanks, but no thanks.
And I get the fact that Lue hasn’t been through the college grind of recruiting, but he was the target of being recruited, so it’s not completely foreign. The NBA has certain ‘recruiting’ aspects, as you have to create the right environment and opportunity for free agent pursuit. The other factor is he can always hire a coach specifically for creating the recruiting function. An ace can be the area the AD requires him to have a plan for.
I brought it up in a few other threads, but try and recall the type of player he was at Nebraska, as well as in the NBA. He hung around for a really long time in the league, and almost immediately transitioned into a staff position, so they saw him as having some traits that worked well in that role.
He’s not my first choice. He may not even be the second, but he’s in the top 5 or 6, and those are close to all being equal.
