That overall record is really misleading and I am also assuming you are wondering how a coach as young as Miles (47) already has over 500 games under his belt.
Miles started his head coaching career in the NAIA with Mayville State University (of North Dakota College Athletic Conference fame). Since then, Miles jumped around a few small, small programs, took a Colorado State team to the NCAA Tournament and made Nebraska basketball relevant — which seemed like an impossible task until he did it.
Like Chris Mack, Miles is a very charming and endearing figure. He also happens to coach for a Nebraska program that’s been making a huge push to make their college basketball program not only relevant, but big time players in the Big Ten.
With Terran Petteway coming back for another year, a still brand new arena in which Nebraska players, Miles has nothing in his way to stop him from having immediate success, which will only make him grow into a more known commodity and help him on the recruiting trail.
