Here's a link to the article referenced in the CornNation article elaborating how much Coach Burno had to overcome to reach his objectives. Tim Miles has got a good one!

Hurley understands true hardship when he sees it. He saw it in Burno, the young man who arrived at St. Anthony’s door with no parents, not much money, and very few possessions beyond the clothes on his back and the ball in his hands.

Burno was just 7 when he lost his mom, his primary caregiver, and only a few months older when his father, an occasional presence in his life, died too.

University of Nebraska men’s basketball coach Tim Miles announced Friday the hiring of Rashon Burno as an assistant coach for the Husker program. Burno comes to Nebraska after spending the past three seasons at the University of Florida under Billy Donovan, who was named the head coach of the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder last month.

Nebraska Coach Tim Miles said Burno’s coaching ability and recruiting acumen made him an ideal candidate for the opening on the Husker coaching staff.

“Rashon will be a tremendous addition to our already strong coaching staff,â€￾ Miles said. “He is a high-level recruiter and a smart coach. As a former point guard, he will really help out working with our guard play. He is a connector with all people and a high-energy guy. He worked with an elite-level program with Coach Donovan at Florida and brings great experience at the NCAA Tournament, including a Final Four appearance two years ago. Rashon also brings a life story that our players can relate to and that they can learn from.â€￾
