Truth is, in Painter’s first 10 years he made 2 sweet 16s and failed to even make the tournament 3 times….Painter would have been fired at Indiana!
-
This is probably a stupid question, but if IU is interested in Dusty May, what is the process? Do they have to ask Michigan for permission to talk to him, is May free to just meet and discuss job openings without informing anyone, or is there an unwritten code of ethics that schools normally follow? Just curious if there is a procedure.

What are you cooking Queasy?

OK, all of this is probably true, but I don’t think Michigan wins the B1G or the tournament. Probably a 6 seed and will lose in the round of 32….all just my opinion, but they have won a ton of close games that could have gone either way, I just don’t see that continuing. If I am right, it will be easier for him to move to IU. Also, it is possible that coming to IU does work out and he gets the job he has always wanted, fame, and fortune. He may only get one shot at this, a lot could happen that would make his coming here impossible. He should take the chance, because even if he fails at Indiana his coaching career wouldn’t be over, he would easily find another job and be just fine…to me it should be worth the risk!

Fran says he has no plans to retire, that was earlier in the season but I doubt anything has changed.
-
RMK had a good relationship with him

Start of IndyCar season…….

The question I would love to have an answer to is: Would Dusty have signed with Michigan if his buyout was $10M, because either he demanded that or Michigan just didn’t push for a high buyout?
-
He changed his name to Freddy Hoiberg….
-
Yep, he won 2 more tournament games his first 5 years, still say he is only marginally better than a guy that everybody on this forum would agree is mediocre but the shilling continues….
-
Just for grins and giggles I compared Cronin’s first 5 seasons at UCLA to Alford’s first 5. Alford 117-57 - 3 Sweet 16s - made tournament 4 out of 5 years Cronin 115-53 - 2 Sweet 16s - 1 Final 4 - made tournament 3 of 5 years (no tournament Covid) So, yes, Cronin had the final 4 run but is just marginally better than Alford in his first 5 seasons, and I know none of you want Alford. I just hope Cronin isn’t the choice, but the way he is being pushed right now, you never know?
-
Don’t forget Crean also had a final 4 appearance….I’m not saying Crean is better, Cronin is just not a major upgrade in my opinion. Not sure what happened to Crean at Georgia, obviously he was out of his element and must have had real problems recruiting!
-
Doyle, who is seldom right about anything, is shilling for him….yes he would be an upgrade over Woody and Archie, not sure how much better he is than Crean. I find him a very un-exciting hire.
-
All this Cronin talk has me worried….it’s like we are being conditioned!

I checked out an Ole Miss forum and some were saying he has already gone to Indiana in his mind! LOL!

Pope will never last there….

IU 81 PU 80 overtime -
If they are that close, he would probably know if Brad had any interest before he even ask him. Likewise, he would also know if Brad had no interest and he wouldn’t waste his time!
-
Dusty may just be that smart…he may have demanded the low buyout knowing that Woodson would be gone. He can either jump to IU if he wants to, or force Michigan to extend him after only one season for a lot more money! If he’s that smart we really have to try harder to get him!
-
I understand what you are saying, but I think Dolson knows better this time who to listen to and who not to listen to, I feel confident, especially after Cignetti, that he is going to get us a very good coach! Your post reminded me that we haven’t heard much from Ted Kitchel this time around, I know he has some health problems but I am surprised he hasn’t given his two cents!
-
Pearl, Oates can’t make 3s, we don’t need more of that! :)
-
We did that with Archie….we need a proven winner, the money is there, Woody was never a proven winner and many people called it as mistake from the beginning.
-
Right now there is one hell of a IU coaching interview happening live on court between Bruce Pearl and Nate Oates! LOL!
-
I don’t think Chris Beard is a “bad guy”, I don’t want to rehash it or argue about it. I backed off supporting him because I want as united a fanbase as possible, not because I believe he is a loose canon or a wife beater. I can remember when people thought Bruce Pearl was a “bad man” and he was getting skipped over by elite programs….all he did was win everywhere he went, even at schools that didn’t normally have winning basketball programs. If Dolson chooses Beard I will not only be happy but I won’t be worried that he is going to embarrass us off the court. But right now, I would take Dusty or even McDermott over Beard, because I think both are very capable and because they won’t be divisive as I fear Beard would be…..
