Steven M. Sipple: Moos projects confidence of a man with one heck of a basketball plan

"I am completely confident in what Bill Moos is doing," said University of Nebraska President Hank Bounds, referring to the Husker athletic director's decision to fire men's basketball coach Tim Miles.

Bounds also expressed confidence in Moos' ability to land the right successor. I remain extremely confident the successor will be Fred Hoiberg.

Moos said a new coach will be formally introduced in seven to 14 days. So, a plausible scenario: Hoiberg will be introduced in the middle of next week. The plan would essentially be for Hoiberg to win his introductory news conference, then go "win the lobby" of hotels in Minneapolis during the NCAA Final Four April 6-8.
