MBB: Coaching candidates?
January 11th, 2017 at 10:43 PM ^
How about Steve Prohm, Iowa State?!
Made move there after Hoiberg went to the Bulls from Murray St.
Yes, this name isn't Gregg Marshall of Archie Miller but I don't see either of those two coming here; based on nothing, just my dumb opinion (not that there's going to be an opening anyway).

Gregg Marshall.
January 12th, 2017 at 12:25 AM ^
We've got the money...I'd go for it for sure.
To be honest, I'd just start at the top and create and list until you get someone in your top group.
Go offer Brad Stevens a shit ton of money. No?
Jay Wright. No?
Tony Bennett? No?
...Gregg Marshall, Archie Miller, Chris Mack.
Just go down the list, but open up the checkbook like you did for Harbaugh.

You and guy below realize he's coaching the NBA's Chicago Bulls right?!

I know he's on a proverbial hot seat but, I guess I don't see him coming back down yet. Who knows, maybe I'm overthinking it and he needs a few more years in college ball.

Won with another man's talent and they've done nothing since.

Not Kevin Ollie
January 11th, 2017 at 10:44 PM ^
I'd be concerned with Hoiberg. Didn't he rely heavily on JUCOs at Iowa State. Can't do that here. And Ollie sucks. Rode Shabazz to a fluky title and has been shitty otherwise. The Gene Chizik of college basketball.
January 11th, 2017 at 10:48 PM ^
Gene Chizik of college basketball? Really? Dude got to the second round of the NCAAs last year and is only 44.
Harsh dude, harsh.
January 11th, 2017 at 10:52 PM ^
I mean, Gene Chizik went 8-4 a couple of different years at Auburn as well. And the trajectory Ollie is on is similar. UConn may lose 18-20 games this year.
January 11th, 2017 at 10:55 PM ^
Getting to the second round of the tournament at Uconn is pretty easy to do with their schedule. This year they've fallen off the map after a NIT two years ago.

Are we UNC, Duke, UCLA level? no. We are a top 10-15 type program though. It's still amusing how many people think Michigan bball is like Iowa or Nebraska.
January 11th, 2017 at 11:44 PM ^
And think the program was built solely on cheating (in reality, Webber was the only Fab Fiver and the other players in the scandal weren't that great). The Fab Five didn't go to Michigan because they got money.

There's lots of evidence that each of the Fab Five were going to choose Michigan had Ed Martin never been alive.
That does not excuse the bad behavior, but I don't think it moved the needle much with the Fab Five. Later recruits, though, I am no as sure about.

I don't know about the Cazzie Russell era but the Freider era was quite dirty. If you think Weber was the first dirty player, you are kidding yourself.
January 12th, 2017 at 12:48 PM ^
seriously, anything?
January 12th, 2017 at 1:01 PM ^
Yes. Rumeal Robinson admitted it on the record. Rumeal Robinson was the gold standard of scumbag.

Jalen Rose has admitted many times to taking money from Ed Martin. Webber was a bigger deal because he lied to a grand jury about it. Jalen told the truth. I was in elementary school in those years but from what I have heard from people who followed the program, the Fab five were certainly not the first Michigan players to get something extra during that era of Michigan Basketball being elite.
January 12th, 2017 at 11:46 AM ^
Players at Iowa, Minnesota and I think Illinois all got money from Martin, yet we were the only one punished because Martin was considered a Michigan booster. He did not direct players where to go but provided money to many Michigan kids.

"We are a top 10-15 type program though"
In our dreams.
This was true under Bill Frieder and Steve Fisher, but hasn't been since, really.
January 12th, 2017 at 10:07 AM ^
Realistically, there has been 15 different teams to win a Bball championship since the last time Michigan did. Three of those teams are UNLV, Arkansas, and Florida, which are more flash-in-the-pan than traditional powers. Michigan has also made three appearances in the finals since their last championship. It is still a brand name, and a much easier sell than you think for a coach who is willing to go after elite talent.
January 11th, 2017 at 10:40 PM ^
Gregg Marshall, Archie Miller, Fred Hoiberg... Lavall Jordan?
January 11th, 2017 at 10:42 PM ^
Feels like he's lost the team maybe.
Archie Miller would be my choice.

I probably would have negged this thread two weeks ago. But I was wrong. 2011-14 was the exception. This is embarassing. We are getting our shit pushed by a wellbelow average B1G team. I'm ready to move on.
January 11th, 2017 at 10:42 PM ^
Time to get somebody who can actually recruit. The fab 5 scandal was 20 years ago. Sean Miller
January 11th, 2017 at 10:43 PM ^
Doubt Warde will pull the trigger this year.
