In Dusty May’s Michigan debut they beat a really well-coached Oakland team by 44 and hit 15 3’s.

Ooof. Heard the ball movement and shooting was excellent.

Too late and also too early for that lamentation.

Dusty May signs top international recruit

Temple guard Lynn Greer III and assistant coach Chris Clark have been suspended for "separate and unrelated" violations, Temple announced. Greer's violations occurred while he was at St. Joe's.

Philadelphia Inquirer has a story on this but it's behind a paywall.

Quite a shocker.  Only 43 years old.

What in the world, how shocking. Is this unexpected, was he sick? 

[Home Jersey 8,128]

Oh my God. Totally shocking. So young. That’s horrible… RIP.

Appreciate every day. Treat people with grace. Even when you disagree with them.

Life is short.

Ditto this message. As a 44yo this hits home.  I don’t know the cause of death, but this is just complete sadness. May he RIP.

Aggressive illness that led to a surgery that went bad according to that article. I’m not a doctor so have no idea what that could be.
 

Way too young and a guy that seemingly just came on the scene as a rising star. Very sad.

[LIHoosier 26,472]

Damn, I thought he was on the verge of being a HC in a Power conference within the next couple of years. How freaking tragic.

[hoosierfan6157 328]

Praying. So sad.

No surprise here because: 1) Abdur-Rahim was on Crean’s Georgia staff, and 2) Crean is just that guy.

I will always really admire and respect Tom Crean as a man. Quirky personality traits and lack of consistent winning aside, he took on the program when it was in the dumps and left it much better off than what he inherited. And at the end of the day, isn’t that basically the most you can ask of a coaching hire (when a championship is obviously not in the cards anytime soon). And, I believe he is a true basketball junkie, the kind of obsessive a D1 HC should be. It’s been said on this board plenty, but in today’s CBB landscape, it’s easy to imagine Tom Crean having a ton of success. Doubt the itch to coach has gone away, but the commentating gig has to be way cushier and better for the family. Plus, the Georgia flameout may have put him on ice. 58 now. If he was wanting to get back into it, imagine this tragic story will put things into perspective for him. Glad he was there for the family.
