I am a fan of Fred Hoiberg. I have a ton of respect for him as a basketball coach.
With that said, it is obvious that he has failed as the head coach of Nebraska basketball.
Well failed, at this point. It is said that when trying to do something you either succeed or you learn from failure.
So what has Hoiberg learned from his failures at this point?
It was easy for me to picture the plan that Scott Frost sold to Trev Alberts. When it comes to Hoiberg it is difficult for me to picture what it is that he sold to Alberts. Even though Frost won only 3 games this past season he could sell the idea that they were right on the brink of winning every game except for one. So just some retooling needed to be done.
That is not the case with Nebraska basketball. It doesn’t need a retooling. It needs to new foundation and what can Hoiberg do in one year to fix the foundation?
I’m not sure. That’s why I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when Hoiberg and Alberts met.
What plan do you think Hoiberg sold to Alberts?

How the sports world is addressing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine - SBNation.com
It goes without saying, but sports are not a concern right now when it comes to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Stephen Curry was considered the MVP frontrunner at the start of this season, but he’s endured a prolonged shooting slump as soon as the calendar turned to 2022. Curry simply isn’t shooting at the historic level we expect from him in the last two months, though it’s probably not a coincidence that his play started slipping as soon as Draymond Green exited the lineup.
