It turns out Nebraska basketball coach Tim Miles was under far less pressure over his job status than players, fans and media knew.
NU Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst, according to Miles, had told him throughout the season’s late stages Miles was set to return for a sixth season.
Public confirmation of that finally came Wednesday night, a few moments after the Huskers’ season ended with a 76-67 overtime loss to Penn State in a Big Ten tournament play-in game.
Eichorst tweeted the following:
