I am going to need someone to explain to me how 2 people voted no on Stevens 

I was just thinking the same thing.

Results are in:

I gave 100% for a Yes vote, 50% for a Neutral vote, and 0% for a No vote.

Based on this, the candidates who would bring this fan base together the most would be Brad Stevens and Dusty May (No shocker here). Micah Shrewsberry and Brad Brownell would also unite the fan base, just in anger as they were the least approved (Shrews 11%, Brownell 20%).  Cronin is a close third on this list at only 25% approval rate.

The most divisive candidates include: Buzz Williams, Ben McCollum, Greg McDermott, and Chris Beard all at 54%.  Followed by Shaka Smart 45%, Grant McCasland 58%

Candidates with a 80% of above approval rate: Mark Few 80%, TJ Otzelberger 82%, Jay Wright 82%, Bruce Pearl 82%, Nate Oats 85%, Dusty May 91%, and Brad Stevens at 96%

The most neutral votes went to Ben McCollum, Dennis Gates, and Grant McCasland, all in the 60's. 

The most NO's went to Michah Shrewsberry at 137, which is more yes votes and all other candidates except May and Stevens.

Ranking:

Again, this exorcise was two fold.  One, to see how people were feeling about the candidates on a large scale as opposed to through the threads and to open some eyes of people on how others really view the candidates that they may be pushing.  I don't think there were many real shockers in here except Shrews and Cronin.  You could maybe lump Self in that category as I was a little surprise at how low his number was, but (my opinion) maybe his success of the last couple of decades was due to improper benefits that gave him (and other coaches similar) an unfair advantage in attracting talented ball players and with the NIL, that advantage has dissipated and people are coming around to that notion as well?  

The next biggest attention getter for me, is probably TJ Otzelberger being so high.  I don't know that I even knew who he was prior the talk about a new coach but he has over 80% approval and 119 Yes/Approve votes.

Thanks @CrossboneIU22, great poll and insightful analysis of the results.

I wouldn’t be surprised if people who cover IUBB reference this and give you credit or subtly reference this and do not give you credit.  We shall see.

If Michigan signs May to a new deal T.J. Is likely the only realistic candidate in the top nine

I don’t believe TJ is realistic either.
