Dusty getting a new deal at UM

[ce36ei]

Welp, with Brad and Dusty gone nobody else really excites me. 😟

Are there coaches to make us better? Sure. But they were the home runs who understood the job and expectations. Just don’t see anyone else out there who’ll leave a high profile job for IU.

Go get Pitino for a few years and get the IU brand back and then find the right guy

Nobody good is leaving their job to come here.

We’re going to end up with Tom Crean 2.0. A .63% type winner who makes the tourney 2/3 years. It’s who we are now.

If our $ can’t lure Dusty, the days of even thinking we’re elite are over.

He’s home and 72.

 

[bsmitty08]

He’s home and 72.

A guy can dream can’t he?

The time was last cycle or the one before.

 

[ce36ei]

Pearl would come In a heartbeat…but they’ll never offer to him.

 

[GThomas]

As expected. I never thought the IU lure was strong enough for him to bolt UM after one season. The shot was last year, but Quinn made sure the gun jammed.

 

[Jim Coyle]

We will have to wait and see how this search ends up, but Indiana May have really cost itself by not making the move any good business would have made a year ago.

 

[Tammany Hall]

Thanks Quinn!

 

[Big Red Crimson Buffalo]

Go get a real coach like Pearl or Beard.

Don’t want to hear any more stuff about the Messiah Brad Stevens or Crean 2.0 Dusty May again.

You know they won’t offer either one.

We will indeed get Crean 2.0. You can book that.

I'm warming up to the idea of either McCollum or Brownell (with Byington just a nose and a half behind in the third position)...

Based solely on his home run Football hire I'm trusting Scott Dolson to, at worst, hit a stand up double, with this hire... Remember, Basketball is his area of expertise and this time He'll be making the final decision (I hope)... He hit a foul ball the last time; I think he connects, solidly, this time around...

If we are to that level. I pick McGasland

Extensions don't mean much. Dusty signed a 10-year extension at FAU after his F4 run. What matters is the buyout.

So you're saying he'll be ready and available in 4 years when this hire flames out?




J/K sorta

He may have an out in his contract.

 

[edub72]

He’s not coming to IU. A year too late

 

[crazed_hoosier2]

the days of even thinking we’re elite are over.

Anybody who has thought that at anytime in the last 20 years or so is either delusional or pathologically nostalgic.

 

[tru123dt]

The buyout only went up to 7.5 million from 5 million 🤔

Whew. That was close.

 

[GThomas]

It really is as simple as that.

 

[GThomas]

People are losing their shit over Dusty ****in' May? Good lord.

May is Crean 2.0.

 

[Hank Reardon]

He may have an out in his contract.

lol. Zero chance Michigan agrees to such a thing. May is gone. IU ****s up as usual.

 

[ce36ei]

I dont understand these types of replies. A FF at a nobody school. A likely BT Title in year 1 of a near last place team the year before? What exactly are we crapping on here?

 

[Pazhoosier85]

Would we all want May if he wasn't connected to IU at all?

 

[GThomas]

I'm not crapping on anyone. He's a good coach, but he's not the reincarnation of prime Bob Knight. And I trust that Dolson will get this right.

I would have liked him at IU, but he wants to stay at UM. Not worth freaking out over.

 

[ce36ei]

Would we all want May if he wasn't connected to IU at all?

I mean yeah?

What is he, like 75-10 his last 3 years? Leading Michigan to 1st in year 1? A Final 4? Of course he’d be a candidate.

 

[ce36ei]

We arent getting those guys. There’s arguably 2 of them right now and we won’t touch either one.

 

[bsmitty08]

May is Crean 2.0.

Why?

 

[kmathum]

Why?

One hit wonder. Not even as accomplished as Crean.

 

[IUgradman]

New coaching hot board in light of recent developments and IU’s comical ineptitude:

Isiah Thomas
Randy Wittman
Keith Smart
Steve Alford
Joe Pasternak
Michael Lewis
Dane Fife

 

[GThomas]

Dusty may have been a candidate for IU, but IU wasn't a candidate for Dusty. That's fine. I hope he keeps killing it at Michigan.

IU had its chance a year ago but the Bigfoot Brigade ****ed it up. Oh well.

 

[ndhuntington]

Beard time he is my number one. Wish May well can't blame him i figured with the success he wasn't coming.

 

[bsmitty08]

Ignorant comment.

 

[IUgradman]

I just want to say:

**** Quinn Buckner

 

[Pryght]

I wish people would relax.... Dusty May signed a 10 year extension with FAU, and then a year later, went to Michigan. His extension could be for 20 years....it doesn't matter. What matters is his buyout. Dusty's buyout with his old UM contract was 5M, and now it's 7.5M. That's about half of Cronin, Oates, Buzz Williams, etc.

 

[BA47591]

I wished for one of 2 things. Dusty to sign this extension or my prostrate to shrink. Lucky for me, the 5 times I get up tonight to p*#$ I'll be happy. I am surprised though.
