Spoke too soon...now Alford is down to ONE returning scholarship player.  Only additional verbal/signed player(s) for next year is a JUCO wing who previously played at Akron.

Does this mean he'll get a pass for the next 3 seasons?

No. Crean had 2 walkons. Tabor and Finklemeier.

He should. Any new coach, at any school, should get 3/4 years before fans start showing up with pitchforks. Now if there are extenuating circumstances, then the coach shouldn’t get that long, (ie cheating, abuse, etc).

Great move for Bil Duany. Bloomington kid (Bloomington North), who I had the pleasure to share some beverages and play pick up ball with throughout college. Interesting staff, but Craig Neal also had a nice run at New Mexico when he was at the helm. Looking at Neal and Alford together, they compiled a pretty nice record in their 8-9 years together.

Doubtful - that’d be a bit like us taking an assistant from Purdue.  Maybe the guy Crean picked a fight with in the handshake line?

[LamarCheeks]

If he hadn't just signed a new deal paying him nearly $5 million a year, I could see UM throwing a ton of money at Chris Beard. Maybe they'd still try -- he bolted UNLV not long after signing a deal there. ... Also wonder if they might try throwing big bucks at Tony Bennett. The thought about him has been that he doesn't want to be at a place where he'd be in a fish bowl -- and football always will be king in Ann Arbor. 

Jay Wright? 

After reaching two NCAA title games in the past few years, I don't see Michigan going small with this hire. I could be wrong, however (I often am), but I see them wanting to make a huge splash.

Even when UM was good before they never really went with the sexy hire, but one that fit their profile. I could see them making a run at LaVall Jordan if they are looking for continuity in style of play. He hasn’t done well at Butler, but I am not sure of the hire they get at this point. It was already a thin year for top coaching talents moving. If Marquette wasn’t primed for a top ten ranking I would say Wojo.

I expect them to go the "interim" route, but who knows.

They will hire a permanent head coach. They aren’t going an entire year with an interim. That would kill recruiting and any chance of keeping the program near the top of the Big Ten.

Didn’t for Louisville 

[LamarCheeks]

Juwan Howard? ... He's a Heat assistant and been a candidate for a couple NBA jobs. Has no college experience, but neither did Penny or Stackhouse.

There's a report that Howard interviewed for the T-Wolves job today. I think he wants to stay in the NBA.
