He was a student manager. Do most people include that in their defintion of "IU Guy" or are they talking mostly about former players?

If he turns out to be our guy I'll support him 100%. I just happen to think there are much more qualified candidates out there.
I gave 11 other reasons besides him being an IU alum to hire him, so... yeah, of course.
UM felt that way too.
I'm not sure I can root for a guy who wears these glasses.

I agree... Given that his mom is an usher at IU games, you would think there would be some familial pressure to lead the team. Now that Michigan has started to re-do his contract, I think if there is not an announcement of a raise/extension before the NCAA Tournament begins, it's all but certain we'll be seeing those goofy glasses in every post-game conference next year.
May is unproven. One lucky run doesn't make him a genius. The brackets, upsets and matchups determine so much. Stevens caught lightening in a bottle then ran. He knew he couldn't sustain it. Beard has too much baggage and Pearl is too old. Ben McCollum is the right answer.
I agree with a lot of your comments, but how is McCollum proven when he hasn't even played a game against a ranked team? Plus, he runs an offensive system that prioritizes three point shooting less than Woody... Could be great, but unproven.
He does seem to have a bit of the "high school science teacher" look

Maybe Woodson can leave his glasses on his desk for the new coach.
Your evaluations of coaching prowess doesn’t exactly carry a lot of weight. If you say the guy is a “reject,” he’s probably pretty good.
What more does he need to prove, and for how long? He has a final four at a backwater school, he never finished a season with a losing record, he turned around the program at Michigan and has them ranked #1 in the conference currently in his first year there. He is doing everything we defined as our criteria for success.
