Common theme when it comes to Miles. "We would be if above .500 if..."

Which Assistant Coach will leave this year for a lateral or step down position? That seems to be a constant also.
Another question.
Miles did not get the almost automatic one year extension last year. Will he this year?

If I had to guess, he will probably get an extension, but the buyout fine print will be equal to what it currently is. Basically saying, "4 year contract" but if you fire him, you have a write in buyout that would be the same as if you never extended him at all.
We have to create a new offense here, and I dont know if Miles is willing to do that. Bringin in a freshman guard who is a canidate for player of the year in high school state and a previous 5* player coming off injury. I hope Miles can do something here. Never know, Anton Gill could step up next year when healthy. He has the tools.
This stat means aboslutely nothing.... just FYI...
Virginia and Wisconsin prove this year in and year out.... Offensive efficiency is what matters... And yes we need to impove on that. We need a consistent shooter NOW...

Sounds good, but they'll likely fail also. UNL is really pretty poor when it comes to major team sports -- outside of women's volleyball. These are the dark days ... they've been going on for a while ... and I don't really see an end.
And we probably had one with White ... but like most any top-quality player would do, he'll bail on Miles. Anyhow, I've heard/read the "consistent shooter" dream demand for quite a few years now.

Who, exactly, did Miles have as a "shooter" at CSU when he made a couple runs to the post season/big dance?
2009-CBI
2010-NIT
2011-NCAA
And with the Huskers, we had Petteway in 2013-is he classified a shooter or?

I briefly crunched some numbers this morning but these should be accurate.
That 2013/2014 tournament team actually shot worse statistically behind the arc than our current team (33.3% vs 33.8%). That tourney team also had 111 more turnovers and averaged 3.8 points per game less than our current team.
The tourney team held opponents to, get this, 11.0% worse from behind the arc.
It's all about defense, specifically, 3 point defense. We played in a lot of close games this year, hitting a couple more threes made a huge difference in those games. Has to improve next year.
Also, I think it mattered who was hitting those threes. Defenses packed the lane against us. Pitchford hit over 40% for that tourney team. Because he played the 4 and 5, he stretched the defenses out, leaving room for Shavon and Petteway to constantly attack similar to Tai. Posts who can stretch the defense matter.
All things that shouldn't be a surprise, but fun to look at numbers.
