Title: Big8/Big12 non-EMAW coaching heroes?
Post by: steve dave on May 04, 2009, 10:27:49 AM: Mine would be the combo of Tubbs/Switzer. Still absolutely love those two d00ds. Who do you look upon fondly from the past? Also, feel free to use this as most hated from the past thread as well.

Kruger/Snyder of course.

What part of non-EMAW do you not understand?

Also, for everyone, this doesn't have to be a combo or anything. Can be a single coach or whatever. Mine was just a combo.

Non B12/8

Growing up in The 'Cuse, I have a huge love for Boeheim.

Pretty much the whole cast of coaches in the movie Blue Chips I liked. Pitino, Knight, Boeheim, Tarkanian. probably a couple others I can't think of.

Jackasses both of them. Good era for coaches, though. I doubt there was ever a better top-to-bottom line-up of coaches in this conference than ~ 1987: Lon Kruger, Larry Brown, Billy Tubbs, Johnny Orr, Danny Nee, Leonard Hamilton, Norm Stewart and whoever coached at CU.

There were some big names together just a few years ago (Roy Williams, Eddie Sutton, Bobby Knight, Rick Barnes, um, Calvin Samson) but then you get into middling or lightweights like Quin Snyder, Wooly, Barry Collier, Ricardo Patton, Melvin Watkins... Some pretty automatic wins there.

think how weak it would make me look if i were "everyone, but steve dave, who liked tubbs is a dumbass". it'd be a feeding frenzy.

:lol:

They retired him to the NU HOF while absolutely destroying us this year :frown:

And Nee was one of the best coaches in Nebrasketball history. Seriously.

Plus, he was a recruiting fool. NU will probably never bring in the talent Nee had. At least not with guys like Doc/Collier at the helm.

I think Nee is THE best coach in NU history.

Post by: ksu_FAN on May 05, 2009, 01:04:22 PM: Probably, but I think the Huskers would probably tab "that other Iba" as their best. I don't think a lot of them like Nee though.
