I would normally say "what a waste of $$$"....but honestly, watching Hoiberg try to figure this out is fuckin painful.We’ll never do anything like this but I’d pay Danny Hurley $10M to be Nebrasketball’s coach
It’s not even *that* much of their revenue to pay a hoops coach top dollar like thatI would normally say "what a waste of $$$"....but honestly, watching Hoiberg try to figure this out is fuckin painful.
I think there's a decent chance that if we gave Hoiberg another 10 yrs, he wouldn't take us to the NCAA tourney one time in that 10 yrs.
I'm generally an "all $$$ go to football" guy....but Fred is testing my patience. I'm not sure I can do another 5 yrs of this.
Not disagreeing with you at all, but hasn't that always been his mantra? I feel like I've never really seen him do the ass-chewing, always seems to come from the assistants (in this case, Loenser, Howard, etc...).I'm of the belief that a team adapts the personality of their head coach. When Gary got hurt the look on Fred's face said it all. It looked like he saw a ghost knowing that without him it hurts our chance of winning that game and any future games. Instead of rallying the players around that injury and saying lets go win this mother fucker for Gary, he just stood there in disbelief. When guys couldn't get a rebound or couldn't score, he didn't call a timeout to chew ass or to run a play, he sat there and took it.
Elite coaches like Izzo, Coach K, Roy Williams, etc., weren't afraid to chew ass when their teams were playing soft and you don't need to be an elite coach to get on your team when they aren't playing well. This team is good when making shots (shocker I know), but when the going gets tough, we fold. When the other team is playing more physical than us, we fold. Seems like Hoiberg is perfectly ok with letting it happen and collecting his nice paychecks.
Right which kind of makes my point. The team mirrors the head coaches personality. Players know they aren't going to get chewed out and they know he won't take them out either because our depth sucks. Hoiberg can scheme up a good offense and as Matt Painter said "they run some good shit". But when the ball isn't going in, there is no mental toughness whatsoever on this team and I believe that stems from our head coach. When we couldn't score the ball, he didn't call a timeout and get us a basket. He sat there and took it and he also called one of the worst plays I've ever seen with 3 seconds left in the game. We don't have the athletes like he had on his good teams and that's also on him for recruiting to his scheme. Sadly it doesn't take an athlete to rebound. It takes effort and want to.Not disagreeing with you at all, but hasn't that always been his mantra?

I am disappointed that they didn't rally around Gary and win that one. I thought it was happening when Brice drilled the 3 the possession after... but that was short lived.
This is your answer, and I seriously don't think it's much more complicated than that.I’m a Fred Hoiberg fan and I believe the past two seasons for him are more in line with what we can expect his teams at Nebraska to look like moving forward rather than the previous years.
If the argument is that he didn’t have the talent he wanted in any of the previous years, I’d disagree.
I don’t know what happened, but I do know that something positive did when Hoiberg retooled his staff and changed the type of player he targeted in recruiting and the transfer portal.
Sign me up for 2022-2024 Fred Hoiberg as I think this version of him is the best coach we’ve ever had here.
doesn’t he already have a pacemaker like me?I'd also like to add Fred's demeanor never bothered me. Doubt any of us want him to keel over on the court. As long as we have assistants who can give ass chewings when needed, Fred can play the stoic, cerebral head guy all he wants. See also TO.
Loenser fills that role, extremely well. He is very animated on the sidelines.I'd also like to add Fred's demeanor never bothered me. Doubt any of us want him to keel over on the court.

Hopefully Nate has gotten his ticker checked out!Loenser fills that role, extremely well. He is very animated on the sidelines.

All jokes aside, this is actually a massive contributor...and Fred being forced to take a more hands on approach with players.Id rather just blame Matty A and call it a day.
This is Miles last roster.
