Barry Collier

I heard all over the news, especially locally, that Nebraska head basketball coach Barry Collier was going to be fired after the Huskers went 19-12 this year. But, it was reported earlier today that Collier was going to stick around for another year.

I'm glad of this. Collier is a good solid basketball coach, and even though Nebraska has not made the NCAA Tournament with him as their coach, they've shown improvements each and every year he's been there. This shows patience that is not displayed at most schools. It paid off for the Rutgers football team with coach Greg Schiano. I hope it pays off for Collier and the Huskers as well. They were not selected as an at-large team in the NCAA Tournament, as was expected, but will probably go to the other tournament, the NIT. Good luck there and hopefully the patience will pay off for the program.
