Just remember, he had a better winning percentage than Miles, and while I know we had a couple of decent non conference teams, the majority were easy wins against The Sisters of the Poor.

Tim miles has been fired
- Thread starter BARNUM is back
- Start date
Disagree.
Sadler didn't have the fancy new arena to attract players. Nor was he coaching when players transferred like hotcakes. Miles definitely got more talent -- but a better sales point with an upgrade over the BDSC -- and he played the transfer game (as he could rarely recruit and develop a quality kid out of high school). But his teams generally failed to perform up to their talent level. I could argue Doc got more out of less.
Both Sadler and Miles were capable of coaching defense -- but really struggled on the other end of the floor. Miles had a couple of solid seasons mostly due to having a couple of scorers (Petteway and Palmer) that basically were just allowed to play street ball on offense. Otherwise, the overall records and success of Miles vs Sadler is generally a wash.
Time will allow people to realize that Miles wasn't good.

I've felt that way for 3 years now.
Many of us have.
But, there's definitely a percentage that place him on a pedestal. And some that are bitter about his firing.

Go west and then a little south from where the Wheelers played.Interesting, from back home
I won't claim to be a close Nebrasketball watcher, but Miles seemed to be building real momentum until Craig Smith left. Never seemed to find a consistent stride after that point.
How long until we find out that TM never had the team doing squats?
Somewhat reminiscent of the transition from MR to SF – I'd like to see NU get the kind of exposure that comes with results on the court.
I think that percentage is small. Miles is a likeable guy and that plays in to it. He certainly handled the last few weeks with grace and class. I respect that and I'll pull for him as long as he's not coaching against NU. I think he's leaving the program in better shape than when he arrived but, as you noted, he had advantages with the practice facility and PBA that his predecessors didn't. The bottom line is I think last year was the ceiling under Miles. It was time for a change.

Miles wasn't a very good coach in this league. the reasons are well documented, and were discussed ad nauseum on this board by myself and many others, for many years. this wasn't a knee jerk reaction by Moos. it was the right move for NU bball and I'm excited about the future.
no surprising news .........
