So close for IU to have the best coach in football and basketball. If Michigan wins the national championship this year is Dusty essentially the Cignetti of basketball by winning it in his second year? Google him, he wins, too.

a big if

Screw Quinn. Should’ve been booed mercilessly Monday night.

Not even close to what Cignetti did..

There will not be another Cignetti. Michigan has a great basketball history and lots of resources. He’s a great coach for sure, but he has all the help he could need.

Of course, but if Michigan does win the championship this year, everyone will be talking about how May is a coaching genius. He took FAU to the FF and completely turned Michigan around in one season and now is following it up with having Michigan as the favorite to win it all in this year’s NCAA tourney. Cignetti is in a class all to himself, but Dusty is doing extraordinary work, too, and he might quickly becoming the best college basketball coach in the country right now.

He is a good coach. Good for him. He didn't want to coach here. People just need to get over it. He made the best decision for himself. Michigan is well-funded and there is almost no pressure there. It's just an ideal situation for him.

1000% wrong. He would have coached here for less than Michigan pays him.....if we get rid of our idiot when we should have. Problem is he did not want to leave a school after 1 year. IU is his dream school and we could possibly pull him in a few years if we need a new one.

Based on what?

Is this you, Scott?

Not that I'm aware of. What I do know is that he didn't want to put his family and his mother, who lives in Bloomington, through the pressure cooker that can come with this job at times.

He didn't want to be here ,he said he loved being in Florida and riding his bike to work. 1 year later he's at Michigan. Knowing Woody wouldn't be here at most a few years so he could have had the job. You are right, he just didn't want it.

I am absolutely connected on this and if QB and SD did the right thing a year earlier he would be our coach.....act intelligent all you want, but you don't know ish.

On absolute inside info. Act like you know something, but if you disagree.....you are wrong.

This (sorta). Quinn never gave Scott the chance to even offer—he and Bigfoot were that tied at the hip. By the time the donors were on board, it was too late. I will never forgive Gap-Tooth for putting Indiana in that position.

Well, good for you. So ok, Dusty gets hired, what makes you think he would have had the same success here he is having at Michigan? Do you know the inner workings of the Michigan AD and how they compare to IU's? Do you automatically assume our roster would be as stacked as Michigan's is this year? If so, show your work.

You come on here trying to sound intelligent on a subject you know nothing about. No one knows how it would turn out for him at IU, but if he came to IU his allowance would have been just as big at UM. Therefore, it is easy to assume similar success because wildly he is coaching in the same conference! Actually IU is known to be on the upper level for their system.,

How big is UM's? IU has top 20 money for basketball, currently. I have no idea about Michigan, but I'm guessing they are a bit higher. Also, I didn't come on here to "sound intelligent." I offered a different view than yours. Why the hysterics?

You both realize DD is a pretty good coach and we’re going to be ok?

The Indiana situation for football and Michigan situation for basketball are polar opposites. Indiana was one of the most losing his programs and all of FBS over history. Michigan had been to the final four within the last few years. Indiana was never well funded whereas Michigan had always been well funded in both basketball and football Michigan was paying players pre NIL. When Dusty May came to Michigan, he was a known entity. He had big success and TV exposure coaching at FAU in the final four , which is why he got the job.

You said May didn’t want the job.

I like DeVries, however I have my doubts he could ever return us to blue blood status. I think he’s slightly higher, hopefully more, than a Tom Crean, which is better than most of what we’ve had the past 26 years. However, with Dusty it looks like he’s taking over the Izzo spot in the B1G, depending on what he does in the tourney.
