Nobody said McDermott can't coach, but he definitely built his reputation through the use of his All-American son. How many of you can honestly state he is NCAA tournament caliber coach? I want to see him get there without his son.

He did it at UNI. three times. he's on his way to doing it this year and for the foreseeable future...without Doug. but then will you diminish that accomplishment because he got lucky and had a 1 and done player fall in his lap?
5. You may not have noticed, but Miles managed to beat Maryland and Purdue before losing his major inside presence to injury.
4. I haven't nor am averring the demise of Creighton basketball. They've always had a national presence and probably will continue to, but calling for the firing of the Nebraska coach by way of comparison is patently stupid. Especially if you understand the difference between these programs, which you may not.
3. My bad, but the. I knew you'd find a way to insult me because they managed to win one more game. You're such a gracious man.
2. Without him yore certainly not bragging up Creightons in this thread. Why not go over to the Creightons thread and gush your brains out?
1. Yes, we shall see. If he's given the time he needs to build a team capable of beating Purdue, Indiana, and Maryland consistently.
Sure, as soon as you stop trashing Miles.
I wouldn't say I've "trashed" Miles. But with year 5 winding down to another poor record it's certainly fair to debate whether he's good enough to get the job done at NU. I may question his ability to do so but I've never said anything bad about the guy personally. there's plenty of results to back up my assessment to date.
As if your assessment actually matters anymore than anyone else.
Did I say it did on that topic?
Not really sure what you're arguing SoCalRed. By every metric McDermott is better than Miles...wins, NCAA tournament appearances and wins in the tournament, head-to-head meetings, recruiting. By most accounts everybody wants to give Miles another year to see what he can do with this team. I've seen very little trashing of Miles...maybe after losses but you can go on anybodys message board after a loss and they are calling for their coaches head.
I envy the Creighton program. They win, they get the good Omaha guys and they are a fun team to watch play. I sincerely hope Miles is the guy to get us to that point but at this point based on his body of work I have my doubts but am certainly willing to give him a chance.

No one wants to point out that middle of the pack in the big ten often means you get to the NCAA tournament
Middle of the pack would be significant progress.
I was referring to the threads title, "muddling in the middle"

Show me which middle of the pack teams get in

You could probably make a case that the big 10 doesn't deserve more than 3 or 4. but as long as MSU has a winning record overall and somewhere close to it in conference...they'll get in. probably as a 3 seed.
A lot depends on the overall field of course...and I've heard it isn't a strong field so they'llong find a way to get 6 in I bet.
I think you mean 'you're'.
