Michigan Coach Dusty May to Dallas Mavs

[IUguy77]

So much for all the clowns who said Dusty was never coming here because he didn’t want to be in the spotlight or deal with the high pressure type schools. Pretty sure going to coach the Mavericks is the definition of a high pressure situation.

There are quite a few coaches and GMs in some DMs of players this morning.

Absolutely every player on their roster has been contacted I guarantee it

Hopefully DDV is ready to become the next hot commodity Big Ten coach.

I don’t believe it but would be hilarious

Looks like May’s assistant Mike Boynton gets the interim job. Can’t give him the job full time next summer under ANY circumstances no matter how well he does with Dusty’s guys this year if you are Michigan.

Already shown he cant run a program at Oklahoma St. From a selfish standpoint I hope Wolverines are dumb enough to give Boynton job full time to remove an obstacle for IU.

From a pragmatic stand point would be dumbest thing UM could do a yr from now.

The UM fanbase handling this exactly the way you’d expect. Dude took their stone dead program, won a Natty in 2 years, stiff-armed UNC and then took a job he clearly felt he just couldn’t pass up and they’re acting like the guy pulled a Kiffin on them. 

1. You say that like it's a bad thing.

2. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of fellers.

It's an AI parody account.

Certainly makes sense if the goal is to hold things together.

Indeed. After all, the Mike Davis experiment was a ripping success.

True but they even said on Field of 68 this morning that Dusty is essentially Will Wade with a better PR team.  He's not clean and never has been.  He's done lots of tampering but of course there aren't any rules anymore. Still the coaching fraternity hates him.

I’m thinking we dodged a bullet with this guy.   : /

This, along with the idea that Dusty feared for the safety of his relatives living in Bloomington among IU fans, was always pure copium. 

 

We'd better become elite in the next few years or Dusty is going to replace Brad Stevens as our white whale.

Next stop: Ann Arbor? 

He did pretty well at another football school, and he's available ...

The question is, who has the largest remaining budget?

It’s probably a case of who can raise funds the fastest to be honest.  I doubt anybody has that kind of money leftover
