Dusty getting a new deal at UM

[kmathum]

Ignorant comment.

Enlighten me. Please.

Enlighten me. Please.

Has May had a Dwayne Wade?

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

FAU is a lil different than Michigan

Has May had a Dwayne Wade?

Wow. That's all you got? You remember Crean at iu?

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.

We couldn't fire a legacy coach that happens to be African American with a 3m dollar NIL budget, then hire someone, probably white, and give them 7m dollars to build a team. We had to let it play out, and get the chum in the water for this hiring cycle. Woody and crew can never say he didn't have every chance now.

How far into Dusty career are we?

He did take Michigan from the B1G outhouse to the penthouse in one season. So there's that.

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.

He’s not coming to IU. He used the situation to get a better contract. Good for him. But he’s gone.

Only 1 million more a year and 2.5 million more buyout? Something isn’t adding up imho.

If those are the new numbers, then the new contract is not really a deterrent.

It sounds more like IU didn’t even offer. IMHO.

 

[IUgradman]

Either IU got turned down by Dusty or they have someone else in mind.

 

[Courtsensetwo]

Dusty won’t be the last potential candidate that gets locked down

 

[Jcoddington]

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.

Pitino said beard is the best coach out there for IU

Pitino said beard is the best coach out there for IU

Of course he did. They've become friends and Beard wants the job.

 

[demunn]

May is Crean 2.0.

May is going to win the Big in his first year

One hit wonder. Not even as accomplished as Crean.

Like what Crean did at Georgia?.. Really showed his game at SEC money school.

Don't think so. IU woke Sparty up

To be fair, I think the NIL payroll was closer to $5 million. But I digress.

Dusty evidently would be much more well received if he did not rebound for Bracey Wright in 2003 in practice as a GA. The guy takes FAU to the final 4, and turns around Michigan on a dime, but he is not a quality hire? The whole IU or non IU background is overblown. They do not need an IU guy. They do not need a non IU guy. They need a guy who has proven himself irregardless of his affiliation to IU. Penalizing him because of Woodson is nuts. Woody did not even know Fife's first name! He probably had no idea May had IU ties. Hell, he may of thought IU played MSU that night. He has got those schools confused before in the Big 10 tourney.

 

[CriticArisen]

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.

If you drink enough after this season you can p#ss yourself in bed and you won’t even wake up.

Not a good showing then to lose at home to your rival on this day.

 

[kkott]

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

If you haven't watched that Pitino interview, he basically screamed: "I'm not coming and you're fools if you don't get Chris Beard!" The fit is so perfect, yeah, I expect we'll go a different direction.

Dusty's not coming. From what folks who claim to know him and his personality, he's not going to make all the glowing comments about UM today and then dump them in 2 months.

Why jump from a good lower pressure gig into the fishbowl?

Higher ceiling given resources provided to the program and the coach has got to want the glory.

That said I don’t think he takes the IU job. We missed our shot with him last year.

 

[Harpo Marxist]

Wasn't meant to be. Move on to the serious, top shelf....and only top shelf candidates. Should be able to count them on one hand.
