Dusty May to Michigan

[bac2therac]

Home run hire

Poor Indiana

 

[ClassOf02]

Great hire for them unfortunately.

 

[MADHAT1]

he's a good hire

 

[fatsam98]

Haha it was supposedly Louisville a few hours ago.

Get the sense he's not the slapping type

 

[fatsam98]

Louisville fans in meltdown mode lol. Scott Drew turned them down, now May

 

[bitnez]

I’m not ready to call it a homerun hire. They had a great run last year, basically brought back the whole team, and ended up only having a decent year in 23-24. They were a preseason top 10 team, lost to 3-4 bad teams, didn’t win their league tournament, and got knocked out in the second round.

Yeah I'm with you.

But no matter what, it's an upgrade on Howard. Still bummed they let him go.

why on earth would Drew go to a shitty acc program

 

[G- RUnit]

And tweaked Louisville and Indy.

He won at Florida Atlantic.

Great coach. Nice hire

i would call it succesful..they beat Arizona, played Illinois close, believe they also beat A&M....the problem is they were never going to replicate that magic from a year ago....tough to get them playing high level all the time when they know they are capable of turning it on vs the top teams, no shame in their loss to NW yesterday

he has 100x the resources at Michigan with NIL money

i thought for sure Ohio State would have gone after him hard but instead settling on their interim

 

[fatsam98]

The Field of 68 crew thinks Louisville might go after Sha. Kind of surprising, but that would be fun to watch.

its a lot of pressure to win there but how do you turn that down

Not sure what he's basing it on (if anything), but Goodman is pretty well connected.

Agreed. Not home run hire. A flash in pan is just that. I actually thought Michigan could do significantly better.

 

[ClassOf02]

Really surprised Ohio State is staying in house. Dude did a nice job after Holtman got axed, but Michigan is going big time and OSU appears to be playing small ball. We’ll see how it all plays out.

 

[fatsam98]

All in all I'm not too upset with how OSU/Mich ended up. Could have been a lot worse for us.

Going "big time"? Really? Guy was unknown until 2022-23. Had great Cinderella run in tourney that year. This year, finished 2nd in conference, and quickly eliminated from tournament, despite overseeding. Wouldn't exactly call that a big time hire.

 

[RUshore99]

I think Mick Cronin goes to Louisville. He wants out of UCLA.

 

[Loyal_2RU]

I think Mick Cronin goes to Louisville. He wants out of UCLA.

That would be near a full circle.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Dusty May is a very good hire.

Indiana will rue the day

Have a feeling that May will greatly elevate the Michigan program with Beilein like qualities !

 

[PJVegas]

Easy - he’s a SH alum.

It'd be funny to watch SHU fans lose their minds should Sha end up in Louisville.

Why do you think he wants out of UCLA?

 

[BigEastPhil]

Why do you think he wants out of UCLA?

There have been reports that NIL at UCLA is minimal hurting their chances to recruit talent.

 

[wicker]

Would also allow Cronin to further his horse racing interests

 

[nukem]

Oh ok, so you're saying he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. Gotcha

Another way to look at it: guy took over a 12-19 Conference USA program with one ncaa appearance in its history. Six seasons later and 25 wins, a conference title (edit: lost in AAC tourney), and round of 64 exit was a disappointment. Probably a solid coach.

I agree - he is solid. I’m not sold on him being a “home-run hire” as someone else posted. That’s all.

Yeah. Michigan hit a solid double, not a HR. Decent good who will get them out of the abyss, but not a HR hire.

[RutgersClassof2004]

Beilein would be example of a home run hire. May is a solid double.

Awesome college coach. So weird he took the NBA money but I guess he had his reasons.

 

[bac2therac]

its a home run

 

[G- RUnit]

It’s more than a solid double.
He did a nice job at FLORIDA ALANTIC!
Indiana was chomping at the bit.
It’s a triple at least.

 

[bitnez]

May got $3.75M per for 5 years. Would’ve thought he’d get more if he was in such high demand.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Both Terrance Reed and MCDaniel are in the portal.

May has to start from scratch.
