LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – Nebraska basketball coach Tim Miles says he’s optimistic about his program’s future even though two players and an assistant coach have unexpectedly left over the past three weeks.
Walter Pitchford is declaring for the NBA draft and Tarin Smith is transferring. On Sunday assistant coach Chris Harriman told Miles he was leaving to become associate head coach at New Mexico.
Terran Petteway also declared for the draft, but that decision was no surprise.
Miles says he’s excited about next season because Kansas transfer Andrew White becomes eligible, and he’ll be joined by five recruits who make up a class ranked No. 31 nationally by ESPN.com.
The Cornhuskers won 13 games last season, finishing with nine straight losses.
