ladyhawke Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Congratulations to Coach Miles! http://btn.com/2014/06/02/three-b1g-coaches-on-espn-top-50-coaches-50-25/ No. 32: Tim Miles, NebraskaESPN on Miles: A couple of years ago, Tim Miles was the funny coach with the funny Twitter feed, the guy most likely to be sitting alone at Big Ten media day while simultaneously making fun of himself for sitting alone at Big Ten media day. (Five years ago, at Big 12 media day, that coach was Fred Hoiberg. My how things change.) Now, after taking the Cornhuskers to their first NCAA tournament since 1998 in just his second season, Miles is a bona fide rising star in the profession. He’s turning Nebraska into a real program, and he has the long-run backing of the athletics department, and the elite facilities, to finish the job. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 It was only a matter of time before ESPN.com’s countdown of the top 50 men’s basketball coachesreached Michigan State’s Tom Izzo. It did on Wednesday, with Izzo earning the No. 3 spot. Barring ahuge surprise – don’t hold your breath – Izzo is the seventh and final Big Ten coach on the list. See all the Big Ten coaches who made the cut in this post. 3. Tom Izzo, Michigan State 7. Bo Ryan, Wisconsin 9. John Beilein, Michigan 20. Thad Matta, Ohio State 32. Tim Miles, Nebraska 33. Fran McCaffery, Iowa 49. Richard Pitino, Minnesota Not bad. Think of it this way: Half of the Big Ten coaches are included, and that’s including Maryland and Rutgers, which have yet to play a Big Ten game. Perhaps more impressive, though, is the fact the conference accounted for three of the top nine coaches. BTN Quote Link to comment
TAKODA Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yep, Miles was a great get for the Husker program and I hope continues his success up the chart! Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Not bad. I personally think he is better than 32 but give it time. Quote Link to comment
