ladyhawke Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I would love to see Tim Miles win B1G Coach of the Year. Here is a tweet by ESPN's Jeff Goodman: "My Big Ten Coach of the Year was John Beilein -- before today. Now it goes to Nebraska's Tim Miles. Huskers should punch NCAA ticket." https://twitter.com/...ame=GoodmanESPN Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Tim Miles deserves it... Predicted to finish 12th... finished 4th-- with 2 seniors/ only 1 of which plays actual time... 3 top scorers are Sophs. Quote Link to comment
Paul in WI Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 No disrespect to Beilein, but even with injuries his team is still loaded with 4 and 5 star players. I think Miles' achievement is remarkable. Everyone left us for dead before the season even began. He definitely has my vote. Quote Link to comment
SUHperman Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 If he doesn't win it there should be an asterisk next to whoever does. It's not even close IMO. I LOVE TIM!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
BlueInTheFace Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I have some obvious bias towards Beilein, but if anybody should win it other than him I think it's pretty clear and I don't think a single rational UM fan would be upset about it. Quote Link to comment

Husker no ka oi Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Tim Miles deserves it... Predicted to finish 12th... finished 4th-- with 2 seniors/ only 1 of which plays actual time... 3 top scorers are Sophs. Neb gets something like 70% of its points from soph. The most in the nation. With wins like this the arena and Tim Miles. Starting in 2015 we will be a top 25 team. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Mr. Nebrasketball undoubtedly deserves it. Obviously we are a little biased as well. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNationNick Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 This should have sooooo been a poll!!!! I said it yesterday that he should be Coach of the Year, and more-so if he wins tonight! I really hope he does, because he deserves it. Sure Beilein has a better record, but undoubtedly they were thought to win the conference, if not 2nd. We were doubted and were to finish LAST. Last time I checked, 4th seed isn't last! GBR!!! Quote Link to comment

I think Miles deserves it, but I'd trade it...and I'm sure he'd trade it...for a good tourney run. Give Beilein credit...he's the only coach that beat Nebraska at PBA....by one point...by basically one inch. Think about that for a moment. Nebrasketball was almost undefeated at home. The team picked to finish dead-last in the conference. Wow. Give credit where credit is due, Coach Miles has really transformed this team. This is coaching at its finest. 1 Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Someone explain to me how Miles didnt have it wrapped up before today, or even last wednesday. I mean, Michigan was supposed to be good. So what the hell's so special about what they've done. We were picked last. By EVERYONE. And now we have what you have to go back to our time in an 8 team conference to find. A top 4 finish. Quote Link to comment

Not like certain other awards that went Nebraska's way, eh? Seriously though, if it isn't Beilein, it *has* to be Miles. Though I never understood why 'Coach of the Year' (or PotY) had to be synonymous with winning the conference... Someone explain to me how Miles didnt have it wrapped up before today, or even last wednesday. I mean, Michigan was supposed to be good. So what the hell's so special about what they've done. We were picked last. By EVERYONE. And now we have what you have to go back to our time in an 8 team conference to find. A top 4 finish. Exactly. Michigan did what was expected of them. Now, if Michigan had a Wichita State-like undefeated run of things...then I could understand. But some media types equate these CotY and PotY awards with winning the conference--hell, it's why Dr. Tom was CotY all of those times before. And I'm fine with that, *if* there isn't another compelling candidate that overachieved or did something special. And I think we all know we have a coach that is a special overachiever.

BIGREDIOWAN Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 No doubt in my mind, Miles should have this. He's doing more with "less" talent compared to others and I don't see any reason why we shouldn't be in the NCAA tourney. From preseason dead last pick in the B1G to #4 seed in the B1G tourney and probable trip to the dance. It's obvious IMO............ Quote Link to comment
eziamm Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 From a Michigan fan's perspective, here's why we think Beilein has the strongest case. At the start of the season we were projected by most experts to be 3rd in the conference, but then McGary went down before conference play. Going into the Big Ten schedule most people put us at 4th or 5th with absolutely no shot at winning the thing, and we won the conference outright by THREE games. Nobody's won the B1G by that margin in a long time. The real kicker here though, and something that a lot of Nebraska fans will understandably overlook, is Michigan's 2010-2011 campaign. That Beilein led squad was picked to finish 10th out of 11 preseason, and ended up finishing 4th in the conference and winning a game in the NCAA tournament. That probably sounds very familiar to a lot of your fans this year. Beilein did not win Big Ten coach of the year. That honor went to Matt Painter and his 14-4 Purdue squad. This is no disrespect to Nebrasketball or Tim Miles at all, btw. I really enjoyed watching your game last night (for a couple reasons) and hope you guys tear it up for the rest of the year. I just think it's Beilein's time to win the COY. Two very deserving candidates. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 It's going to go to Miles or Beilein and the decision won't be a wrong one either way. Now if Nebraska wins the Big Ten tourney, then maybe there would be a wrong answer. Quote Link to comment
