That’s pretty much how it was described to me by someone who also added a “prologue” by saying that Woodson might have been led to believe 4 years earlier that the job would be his when Crean was fired. Either led to believe that by Glass himself or by someone else. But it ended up being Archie instead.

Yes Glass told Quinn he would hire Mike if they agreed to let Crean go. Then went behind his back to Archie and never even interviewed Mike

1. Rick Bozich or Alex Bozich?

2. When did they say this?

3. Do you have a link to exactly what they said?

I'm pretty sure Hornsby has no idea where he is even at right now. I'm also going out on a limb and saying he will not be happy whoever the next coach is.

I can’t help but wonder how many “ true fans” are calling for coach Portal to get an extension after the win @MSU.

Hey @Hornsby

You are continuing to post but did not answer any of this. Rick and Alex Bozich are reasonably connected and I'm wondering if they went on record stating that Stevens was literally a zero % chance.

Soooo?

It was Rick a few days ago

I'm sitting close to Scott Friday night so I'll report back. If he has a farmers tan then I know he was at the beach

I’ll wave to you from Section A! Need you & Scott to wave back with your left hands if Brad, right if Dusty.

First time back in the Hall in 2 years. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, it’ll be great to be back home.

What do you make of Osterman saying 5% chance Brad is the next coach?

I wish Scott would have done the same thing. Honestly I respect Glass a little more now.

I don't know, it's possibly the smartest thing he did with IUBB and it still came back to bite us.

That is a head scratcher, not sure why Michigan would agree to that low buyout?

Two options:

1. Dusty demanded/negotiated it.
2. Michigan wanted an "out" in case Dusty was a bust.

take your pick.

I think that is a high % coming from Osterman. Appreciate him taking time out of his busy schedule watching soccer to let us know his thoughts.

For all of Glass' faults... he was genius with that move... but Buckner ended up screwing over the basketball program any way...power corrupts. Absolutely power corrupts absolutely.

Bozich says 0% chance. Our insiders say numbers have been discussed. Somebody will be dead wrong.

So our insiders have said numbers have been discussed with Stevens recently? When was this mentioned?

It's not #2 since his buyout for getting fired is 70% of his remaining contract which comes out to something like $10.5-11M.

There are 2 different buyouts.

Your #2 would refer to a different buyout clause

It was 13 days from the time Archie was bought out and Mike was introduced I believe 

The first rumor of Mike Woodson being considered was a dark day in american history.

I think it is definitely #1….and why would Dusty demand such a low buyout? Maybe he was up front with them and said if IU opens up and they offer I will likely take it. Or maybe we are over-estimating his interest, maybe he has his eye on another opening?

Indeed. Schools want the buyout for a coach leaving to be as high as possible while coaches want just the opposite. It's obvious that May/his agent worked to get it low.
