lol. I would not bet on IU for anything basketball related. I should start probably betting against them. That might have amassed a nice little chunk of change this season.
There’s guys out there who are better. He probably sees better environment and opportunity at Michigan, regardless. IU is a dumpster fire in basketball. Who wants to walk into another Crean-like rebuild?
No way is it comparable to what Cignetti did. It would be a comparison that is strongly tilted in Cig's favor.
I'd definitely want to hear a no from Stevens, Beard, and Pearl before considering Dusty.
One year, great. You think that's enough? Not good enough for me.
Have to. Not expecting it at all but you have to ask. If Dolson could get him, he’d go into the books as a legendary AD.
Keep the boosters far away from this hire.
Beard and Pearl are real coaches.
May is a mini-Crean.
I actually don’t want anyone this next go-around that has any ties to IU basketball. It’s a defunct brand. Bring in someone who can start a new image.
Are you kidding.? What the hell are you talking about? Are you comparing Michigan basketball to IU football?
He’s got a favorable schedule with Purdue, Maryland, Illinois, and MSU all at home. Michigan has a road game at MSU, too, and it’s the only game they won’t be favored in. The B1G title is there for the taking if they can finish 7-1.
While I can see some of the Crean thing, you have to admit that he pales in comparison when it comes to weirdness.
My only prediction when it comes to who IU hires is that it will be someone who makes approximately half of the folks on this board lose their shit.
May needs to be 4th or 5th on the list. IU settling for him shows they don’t have ambitions of ever being elite again.
True, unless there's a miracle and Boy Wonder shocks the world.
I sure don’t get the Crean spaz vibes from May. He’d be a massive upgrade but not sold that he’s the best option either.
May has taken the worst basketball squad in the league to the top at a football school in one year. Cignetti took the worst football team in the league to the top at a basketball school in one year.
You'll be calling for them to fire McCollum from very early on. Kinda why I might enjoy it.
Cig took the worst program in college football history and took it to the CFP! Absolutely no comparison.
