Dear Editor and The Old
Pro:
After Nebraska was
beaten by Iowa State last
night, I wonder if vou
wpuld straighten me out
on some things. First, has
Jerry Bush had a winning
season since beginning at
Nebraska and is it not
true that he currently is
setting a losing streak
record of consecutive sea
sons for any head coach
at Nebraska?
Second, wasn't Titrnv
Dye a coach in bas
ketball someplace and if
so why does he continue
io allow Nebraska to fin
ish on the bottom in has.
ketball with a coach who
doesn't have the coaching
ability to win games?
I have confidence in
Tippy Dye as an athletic
director but I will most
certainly lose it if a man
like Bush is allowed to
continue coachinz and not
even break even. As Ion?
as I've been able to read
papers, he's always cried
arioui his material and
how great other teams
are, now why doesn't he
wake up and use the- ma
terial he has? With good
coacning, i m sure they
would be a winner. Bein?

doesn't bring a winner as
wen as just pulling up
sets on your home court.
I would like vou. The
Old Pro, to express vour
opinion on what tvoe of
coach Jerry Bush is, hold
ing nack no blows. In the
past you've shown some
guts, let's show some
here and expose our bas
ketball coach for what he
is, a big blowhard who is
staying here by the grace
of his mouth rather than
by his accomplishments.
Sincerely Yours,
