Tim Miles

Mm-hmm.

Um, going back to when Tim Miles was there.

Like, that's a tough, uh, tough place to win.

I don't think they'll win that first one, and I do think that there will be a small uprising on Twitter if they do lose that first game.

It says here, four NCAA tournament berths, eight Summit League tournament championship games, the second fastest coach in NDSU history to reach 100 games, and the fastest in the Division I era.

Faster than Tim Miles and Saul Phillips.

So there you go.

Who are those guys? I don't

For 23 years.

So I just want to get all that straight.

So when you came in, it was Tim Miles, correct? So I

came in as a student.

I just really like the feel of this roster, uh, in general.

It has the, the feeling or the vibe of a lot of those CSU tournament teams of old under Niko Medved or going back to the Tim Miles era, or even Larry's team which was just an extension of the Tim Miles era.

It was all of, all of Tim's guys, and they basically were coaching themselves by the end of the year.

Um, but, uh, just a veteran roster.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, Tim Miles at least is gonna always be a fun storyline.

They'll have a team that will jump up and get you every once in a while.

Um, man, it's gonna be an interesting, in- interesting one, and it starts for real on, uh, the 2nd.

Whoa.

To be honest, if you look at some of the shooting guards, and I think what we can do, the problem is going into this year compared to, like, that year with Tim Miles when we won that first run, we brought back four or five starters that next year, but we weren't s- you know, people weren't...

People were sleeping on us that year.

Mm.

They got one at least.

I like how Tim Miles said last week in the weekly press conference on Tuesday said, "Oh, that, it doesn't really matter to me.

I wasn't really think- I'm glad to be here.

I didn't get an interview for the job," whatever.

I got a kick out of that.

I think that's the interesting part about it.

Maybe, I think part of the reason that they brought it in, 'cause there's so much interweaving there of, like, Craig Bohl and Tim Miles and, you know, a former Bison player and coach with Vegan who's now at Montana.

I mean, there's...

He's like, he's good, man.

And I just did the Olympic Club tip-off NCAA basketball dinner on Tuesday night at the Olympic Club, and Coach Tim Miles at San Jose State, they wrestled up $4 million for their basketball program, which is pretty.

Olivier Saint-Jean is happy.

That's pretty good.
