Dear @CoachMiles,

Thank you. You made a kid who didn’t follow Nebrasketball until he started UNL into a passionate fan. You gave him a chance to storm a court (2x). You gave him the chance to be interviewed on Selection Sunday. You reminded us Hate Will Never Win.

Going to miss @CoachMiles and his positivity (and his pics of @TimMilesDog). He was never too busy to meet Husker students and I couldn't have asked for a more outgoing coach to cover in my first year working for BTN! Nothing but the best to him in the future! #AlwaysaHusker pic.twitter.com/31T6DbiBkf

I loved my time as a Husker and @CoachMiles was a big reason why. Never pretentious. Truly authentic. Always with a smile and willing to share or extend a helping hand to the “women down the hall” and that doesn’t always happen in this profession. He’ll bounce back! https://t.co/LhGIsf1vjj

Coaching at times is a tough, thankless profession. A coach has to have the discipline to erase the noise, & as my dad used to say, “leave it better than you found it.” Thanks @CoachMiles for your time & for talking to me even when you really had no idea who I was! #GBRalways pic.twitter.com/HdVLsxNoXq

The scene will live forever in the hearts and minds of Nebraska men's basketball fans.
Miles went 116-114 in seven seasons at Nebraska.
Tim Miles smiled to the end, because he's a professional who handled a difficult situation with professionalism.
Nebraska athletic director Bill Moos on Tuesday afternoon laid out an ideal time frame of a week or two before the next men’s basketball coach…
Tim Miles didn't win enough games in the eyes of his bosses, and in the eyes of many fans. That didn't stop a steady stream of support toward the coach on social media Tuesday.
Make no mistake, Nebraska athletic director Bill Moos is thinking big. Asked if NU men's hoops could regularly reach the NCAA Tournament, he said, “I don’t think it’s pushing it too far to think three out of five years." Hank Bounds expresses confidence that Moos can get the right pieces in place.
