Correct on everything except Beileins buyout being an issue. That was never an issue. That entire screw up was 100% Adam Herberts doing for political reasons. In fact I'm pretty sure Beilein paid all of his buyout to WVU out of his own pocket when UM hired him.
I can just promise you that as long as the three stooges are calling the shots, Glass, Mcrobbie, and Shoulders, no good changes will ever be made. Our problems are a lot deeper than Archie.
Crean was obviously a bad hire but given the state of the program I'm not sure we could've done much better. The problem was Fred keeping him way too long and making a very risky hire when sure things like Bennett and Marshall were available. Given that we've been irrelevant for 20 years now was not the time to gamble on a hire. I agree Fred needs to go immediately.
I just don't like what I saw on Rivals. Cal and Ed being beasties apparently. Maybe Kyrie Irving yet again. I still think Archie will find a shooter in the grad transfer market which is a bigger need.
