Why not? We've been turned down by everyone. He has improved every team he coached over time. Harvard has improved greatly. He had a #2 recruiting class at Seton Hall, he has been a coach at 2 major programs, and he's got a sweet 16. Maybe he has learned from previous mistakes. What say ye pack?

What makes you think he could do better here than he did at Michigan, a program with a national title and multiple final fours?<div>
</div><div>And even if he did do a little bit better (say 2 NCAAs in 6 years rather than 0), that's still not good enough.</div>
