Tim Miles Hot Seat Watch

Miles is a good guy

hes upbeat and quirky 

he has recruited better than any coach in recent memory

he embraces the fans and the place is full

lets part ways in a classy way

nu has been a graveyard for coaches

have no clue who we get or how to turn It around 

beating up on a guy who has worked hard and embraced the fans in a historically poor program doesn’t help anyone     

Wasnt like he he took over a team that consistently won 20 plus games

Well, he has a worse winning percentage than the guy who was here before him, so...

Miles is not good recruiter. In 7 years no bigs or a kid that shoots 3’s. He just gets juco transfers and that it. 

He has not developed one player, nobody leaves a better player. Person yes, player no.

I’m no basketball guy

my totally unskilled observation:

this team wasn’t deep

but they seem to be pretty talented

just not playing together and winning games

at the end of the day that’s what they have to do

i loved doc

but never felt he had the kids to compete

thought White was supposed to be good at shooting 3s

yep no big guys jordy didn’t work out

Tim Miles main reason for his demise is kids leaving the program. It happens more often now in basketball, but man there have been a ton for him. I didn't include Jake Hammond, Jack McVeigh, Nathan Hawkins or Nick Fuller as they weren't B10 caliber kids. 

Terran Petteway - for some reason thought he would get drafted and didn't 

Walter Pitchford - left/quit after Jr year 

Deverell Biggs - transferred. Avg 12 ppg at Tx Southern 

Tarin Smith - transferred. Avg 8 ppg at Uconn this year 

Andrew White - transferred. Avg 19 ppg and 5 reb for Syracuse. All-ACC player 

Michael Jacobson - transferred. Avg 12 ppg and 6 reb for Iowa State this year 

Ed Morrow - transferred. Avg 5 ppg and 4 reb for Marquette this year. Avg 9 ppg and 8 rpg for us as a soph 

Bakari Evelyn - transferred. Avg 11 ppg at Valpo his two years there 

Jordy Tshimanga - transferred. Avg 5 ppg and 4 reb for us

Jeriah Horne - transferred. Avg 9 ppg 4 reb for Tulsa this year. Shooting 41% from 3P

I disagree that those guys weren’t BIG caliber. If you look at the way good teams have guys who work together as a team instead of standing around watching the stars heave up pathetic threes, those guys would’ve contributed as great support players.

Players don’t believe in this system, or whatever it is.

You think the first 4 kids were B10 caliber? The others listed were, but just not the first ones listed

I just watched the same kind of players for Texas Tech get after it and play like a team. I think they were good enough role players for any league. Doc had the opposite problem.

 
His seat isn't even hot.  He's out.  He knows it. 

Nothing gained by firing him now.  Moos has the next few weeks to work on his replacement.
