I true big would most certainly help, but we have more problems than just missing a big. White, imo, will be gone!
next year will be the worst year for Miles, and as such, should be replaced. He has been, and continues to be, < .600 coach.
It won't be his worst year and he won't be gone......
it will be his worst year at NU. Who won't be gone, White or Miles? If you meant Miles, I agree he won't be gone, but should be (which is what i said). It does not take this long to turn a basketball program around.
You asserted that Miles would be gone and next year would be his worst.
I am simply disagreeing with that.
Sometimes extenuating circumstances dictate results (here I am differentiating "excuses" from circumstances); excuses can be made generally but circumstances tend to be more specific.
Circumstances worked FOR Miles in his 2nd year when the schedule, the timing and the momentum arrived simultaneously and afforded the opportunity to make a run; conversely last season's injury to Shavon happened
precisely at the worst time to stifle a growing and momentum -searching team.
I think a lot of the worry over next year is a follow up to how this year finished up (VERY similar to the previous year heading into 2015).
I also believe the growing collection of talent is a much stronger base to build from than Miles has ever had.
Having said that, it is still mind-boggling that we cannot seem to close on a BIG !
Regardless, our differing opinions will have no influence on SE or on the record, so I chose to believe that things will continue to get better.
