I would love Dusty May, but has there been a P5 coach that switched teams in conference in the last 30 years?  I just don't think it's done.  

Yes.  Chris Beard from Texas Tech to Texas.

6 B1G road wins for Michigan. Not bad for a 1st year coach in the conference.   

Yep. It’s hard to win on the road in the B1G… the King told me that.

Cal just left UK for Arkansas

Yeah that was one where Mike White left because he knew he was on the hot seat and wanted to get out before he got fired. 

Haven't watched UGA but his UF teams were unwatchable. It was just stand around  pound a hole in the floor and chuck up a sh*tty 3.

Your point is still valid in the Big Ten though. I can't think of any examples of Big Ten coaches. 

Would that also rule out Mick Cronin?

Cronin is picking up steam from legit media outlets. Several new articles out today. Obviously doesn’t happen til UCLA’s season is over.

I would hope we aren't crazy enough to pay a $16 million buyout for Mick Cronin, he's not worth that plus the contract he'd get.

I say that knowing we hired Mike Woodson so the bar is set pretty low.

Beard TT to UT

Actually a pretty good comp for Dusty to IU. Was a GA instead of student manager but UT was always his dream job.

Michigan actually has a much larger endowment than IU with more donor power...but...do those donors want to use it for basketball is the question?

Football is king up there, so probably not. I’m pretty sure Howard complained about the basketball support when he was there.

It drops to $12M after the season and there has been mention of a loophole installed in the contract.

 

Just an FYI

Personally I think Michigan will lock him up

They can try... they can draw up and extension and ask him to sign... but the tell will obviously be what Dusty does... he has a contract with UM, so he doesn't need to be in a hurry to re-up, especially if he truly is interested in the IU job...

Dickinson left because of it and they are strict transfer rules.  They had Terrence Shannon signed and Caleb love and both went elsewhere because they couldn’t get in 

[BleedCubbieBlue 1,959]

You go away on an ayahuasca retreat and come back to this. You guys have been getting at it. It is hard to catch-up.

Yeah. Either way he's going to be getting a raise. Will be interested to see how much Michigan gives him in the end if we can't pry him away. 

I’ll say this, if Dusty ends up winning the Big 10 Championship, Donors are definitely going to lock him.

Had heard that Mullins wasn't impressed with the basketball facilities at Michigan.

Mike White UF to UGA . Inexplicably, 3 years ago UGA "stole" a middling at best Mike White, with no discernible offensive philosophy and meh results to finish 11th (6-12) in the SEC the last 2 seasons and is 4-9 now. The poor Gators had to scrounge around and hire Todd Golden.

 

This transaction led to us getting Reneau -- for better or worse. 

He had committed to Florida, but backed out when White left for Georgia. Reneau and Hood-Schifino were teammates at Monteverde, so JHS just brought him along to IU. 

Georgia fires Tom Crean. Mike White goes from Florida to Georgia. Malik decommits from Florida and picks IU. So in essence, we can thank Crean for Reneau ...

It drops April 1, 16m until then.

We'll need a coach by then.

Dusty should show Woodson a map that shows him where the hump is. The hump just happens to be at Woodsons house.

Hyper-fixating on postseason record is a weak argument

…..I’m HYPER-FIXATED on refreshing this board and this coaching search. It’s an addiction. Is that wrong? Lol
