At Big Ten media day last week, Nebraska coach Tim Miles referred to some of the Big Ten coaches as "stiffs," adding with a smile: "Richard Pitino. Come on. Let's have some of that personality we know you've got in there somewhere, buddy."
The Gophers' Pitino, with a smile on his face, too, said this in response at Gophers media day on Tuesday: "No comment. … He should know better. … He's just challenging me and trying to bait me. I'm not buying his thing. But what I love about Tim Miles is that he's the exact same way in a press conference as … that's just the way he is. We can't all be as funny as Tim Miles, and I'm OK with that."
Good times, good fun. We don't imagine either coach is upset. Just some friendly banter. Here is a video clip of both Miles and Pitino.
