I agree although I don't exactly know what to expect as far as how that's being approached during peak season when you really want him focusing on finishing this season strong heading into March. I would assume most of the time when a school wants to extend a head coach or rework a contract they'll just wait until the end of the season to dig into the details. Obviously it's Dusty's agent doing most of the talking and listening at this point but it would be really interesting to know whether or not Dusty has told them he'd rather wait until the season's over to work on it. 

If he wants to hold off to the end of the season I'd say that means he's taking a really hard look at Indiana or possibly even already made up his mind.

I think that is generally true, but I was chewing on it more and thought it might actually be in his interest to play it out. If Dusty makes a run in the tournament, his bargaining power both with us and Michigan will be through the roof. Likely it is already far beyond someone of his career because of us waiting a year too long, but he goes out and wins the B1G and makes runs in BTT and NCAAs he will essentially be able to name his price. 

As long as he doesn't sign with UM it is a good thing, but the longer this goes the pricier it gets IMO.

....sitting at my HS classroom desk drinking my coffee and wondering why we didn't have a 2 hour delay.

Wiemuth isn't just a guy sitting in the basement of his parent's house if you're not familiar with him.

So I have a theory and I’m not much of a smoke screen guy,  but what if DOLSON said we’ve got our guy because he wanted people to think it’s Brad Stevens so that Dusty and IU can work behind the scenes until the time is right?

Is it weird that I'd totally welcome Tom Crean back? Would really love to have him on the bench.

....No Big Whoop! lol

As I said once before, I get my hopes up reading everything and listening to all the possibilities which is fun and then we get blindsided with a coach out of nowhere like Woodson.  I am getting too old for this and would love to see them relevant again before I can no longer watch and enjoy the game.

My opinion, yes, even as an assistant. He had his time and will be a great tv analyst. But there’s no reason to bring back the past. Hundreds of quality coaches who can do what he did

[OKHOOSIER 5,974]

I perused my favorite UM forum to try and get sense for how they feel, and the general consensus is if DM wants to go to IU there is nothing their AD can do about it.

They also have gone on and on about their current AD being fairly slow to act in other situations like this in sports not named football. They seem to have a sane opinion about it based on their Harbaugh experience and a coach going home. That said, they think almost to a person that our job is decidedly mid, and if it were not for his ties we would have no shot. They also think we ended up with Woody because we couldn't get anyone better lol, so take that with a giant helping of salt.

What about this guy? I think we can get him real cheap too. Just throw in a few extra incentives. Like make it to the tournament get free case of Busch Light. Might need to get him personal chauffeur, but I think he could Win big.
