Michigan Men's Basketball: AKA the Michigan revenue sport that doesn't have an uber jaded fanbase waiting in the dark for failure.

probably the best you can hope for right now.  he wasnt very good at ok state.

He had one NCAA tourny appearance, so why not offer the interim job to Beilein were he willing to take it? You know Beilein is going to run a clean program. You know he's a good head coach and can work to keep most of our players that May recruited around here. He has familiarity with the university and Warde obviously. He's likely a better coach than Boynton will be.

boynton gives you the possibility if keeping this team together and he's motivated.  he knows the system.

beilein is 70 years old.  he's not coaching anymore.  he's DEFINITELY not recruiting.  the team doesnt know him.  they will all leave.

beilein is not a serious option, although knowing michigan, they might do it.

Maybe Boynton can get Cade to go back to school and finish his 3 years of remaining eligibility.

They're busy hiring the national championship winning offensive coordinator. At least they're giving him an interim title.

 

 

Something tells me they HEAVILY vetted his personal life, but it IS Warde, so who knows?

Sure, ding Warde for getting out over his skis in public, which isn't a good look, but the reality is that May wasn't going to sign until the NBA season was over and he could see his offers. He had all the leverage - "offer me a contract and I'll sign it if and when I see what the NBA offers."   That die was cast the minute the nets were cut down in Indy and Michigan couldn't do much to change it.

That's the world of big $$ sports. The Schools wanted into that world, now they get to live it.

It'd be one thing if he was asked by a reporter, "do you intend to re-sign Dusty May?" and he said "we sure do, we want that man to be our coach for many years to come." I don't expect him to say "well, maybe, but if the NBA comes calling who knows."

It's another to get in front of a mic at a national championship celebration and voluntarily offer "Dusty and I have already reached an agreement and he will be the leader of this basketball team many years to come."

He voluntarily offered information in an attempt to take public credit for an agreement that wasn't even signed. It's just yet another bad look for a poorly run department.

Who was the coach that used to sweat so bad his shirts all were see-through?
