I'll take it.

Nobody thinks that TO will give Doc the pass until the arena is in use (serious question)? Before this year i didn't really care who the b-ball coach was because when it comes to basketball i'm more of a Duke fan than the Huskers, but this year really has been a disgrace. They don't play competitive ball at all and thats not the way it should be with any team that has the word Nebraska on the jersey.

If they keep Doc another year, they are willing to accept that we will never have a decent b-ball program. Mike Anderson got 3 years bonus pay as well. Also, does anyone know who dresses Doc? He looks absolutely terrible most of the time. Suits 2-3 sizes too big etc. At least look good while you're taking beating after beating.

I would give Tom some sound advice this time. Quit giving these average coaches enormous buyouts. You paint yourself into a corner. If they want a long contract, demand results before they get that raise and or extension. Such a novel idea.

I too believe this should be Doc's last year... I was in his defense for two years but this season made it painfully obvious that he does not have what it takes to get this team to the Tourney. And the fact that we are actually investing in basketball now might be enough to get a great coach to come and take a shot at making it big here. Don't fool yourselves though Nebraska basketball is still not a "destination" job so we'll have to go for a guy that is young and up and coming. Shaka Smart or Brad Stevens are two that I would like to look at but we'd have to open up the pocket books in a big way.

All of that being said, I actually think TO gives Doc another year. I don't want him to but I think he does this time under the excuse of playing in a new conference.

Now that we are in the big 10 and on TV we have to give him time to get it all together.. Doc's a good coach and we are just NOW getting all this TV time for people (Players) to see us and our facities..

Give him some time and then drop it like it's hot on him after another 2 years and we havent improved.

Couldn't have said it better! Doc is a great man just not the right guy for this Job.

Adams, this isn't the old days of college athletics. You're not gonna see guys get 10 years to start producing. When you're AD is sinking big money into the program, he needs results. Doc has had his shot. I don't know who would make a great replacement for him but they couldn't really do much worse. I'm sure TO has a few guys in mind.

If the basketball team showed any promise at all, I think Doc would get another year, however it isn't. We don't have good players, they don't give 100% effort 100% of the time, there is no exciting offense or tough defense. We don't have anything to hang our hat on as a team, and this far into Doc's career that isn't acceptable.

Which means we need to make the most of the schedule we do get. Go to the tourney and the Dukes and North Carolinas of the hoops world can't avoid you. Trust me Adams, I've stuck up for Doc in the past. Its just time to try someone else. Nebraska plays some of the worst basketball to watch in the country. And we're constantly playing to not get blown out. Is that really the style of basketball a BCS school should be playing? And why would Doc want any part of Duke anyway? He can't handle Northwestern or Minnesota.
