SIAP, I know there was mention of Sean May coming on staff as DOBO.

But did anyone hear Kenny Smith on set last night say he was excited for Sean since he gets to move up and even talked to him on the phone earlier that day to congratulate him? Guessing that means he is not an option

Yeah it sounds like he's moving into an assistant coach role at UNC.

Yes I did hear that. Also @VO5 had said that earlier in the day. So it must have been out there somewhere.

He is off Peegs Hot Board for assistants. He was on there last time.

I have to be honest I really thought we would have to pay more than this to get Dane to come back to IU

Wow. What was his base salary at Michigan State?

Makes me think Michael Lewis might be getting the big check. 

Although I wouldn't put it past either of them to take pay cuts just to get this thing turned around.

I have no idea

[HoosierFan1994]

If Roberts is still sticking around I'm guessing he is the DBO.

I saw either here or anther board that he was making $350k at MSU.

Edit: $340k as of 2018.

I won't ever make that much lol but I wonder how big of a deal an extra $20,000 to $30,000 is. It feels like he really wanted to come home.

Plus 20K for moving. Plus another $25 next year for being on staff

[Kentuckysucks]

I honestly thought we'd have to pay Fife at least double that.

That might have been an offset to having to wear $2000 of Adidas gear

I think that amount still matters in to coaches Fife's salary range (coaches almost always need to plan as if they might needing to take a drastic pay cut in the near future) , although its also very much in the range of what I think MSU could and would be willing to match, so coming back to IU was certainly the driving factor

I thought to myself dang his family, friends, and neighbors are all getting Adidas gear for Christmas for 2K

I'm in no way diminishing Dane's decision but maybe he really wanted to cut his ties with Izzo and this was a win-win situation for him to return to his alma mater.

And there may have been an undisclosed agreement that he will be taking the HC spot in a few years. I believe this was probably what tipped the scales for him. He wasn't likely to get that at MSU.
