IUFLA Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Here's an interesting name to ponder...Ben Howland. I tried to find the details of his contract, but didn't see where he had signed an extension or had a massive buyout like Jamie Dixon. A lot like Beilein...Older coach with no baggage and can win at the upper levels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no evidence of the lottery being rigged since, and as has been shown the Knicks have actually had bad luck on the lottery, as have the Celtics. Teams that have won the lottery in recent history, Minnesota, Orlando, Cleveland, Portland, New Orleans, etc. Agreed. Ewing draft could have been rigged (frozen enevelope/bent corner) since it was a bunch of envelopes being pulled out. Now with the ping pong balls and so many combinations assigned to each team, supervised by EY and a rep from each team, it is nearly impossible to be rigged. I've seen articles over the years (not as much lately) that used to show what conspiracy could be applied to basically any team winning the lottery.

When looking for the contract info, I came across this article. Howland says he's going to go 6-7 more years, and that he's happy where he's at. But by any standard, Michigan is a step up from Mississippi State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that I noticed is that he enjoys fly fishing. Michigan would be a great destination for his hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 If Donovan wants to get back into college game I think this is the gig and the time. UM has the resources and I think will pay whatever they have to get their guy. I would not be shocked to see Beard take a serious look as well. I will be shocked if they do not get a big name. my gut says Marshall will be in the finals for this position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the past 8 years or so the number 1 program in arguably the top 1 or 2 conferences in the country. OKC kind of stuck in neutral. I don't feel that the will be plucking someone from a mid major or an assistant coach IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be a great landing place for most coaches to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timing is everything. Also, having an AD willing to make a move when the iron is hot. Fred is completely incompetent while UM clearly knows what it is doing.

Indykev Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 21 hours ago, Hoosierhoopster said: The 'rankings' for IU in that chart are interesting and somewhat confusing -- #4 in recruiting base, #6 in facilities -- I would've thought those would be ranked better -- MD and Rutgers with the #1 and #2 recruiting base shows a favoratism for East Coast recruiting. Northwestern / Chicago at #3 is about where I would've thought -- as strongly as we feel about IN/region recruiting, the East Coast recruiting base is deep. Meanwhile IU has recruiting base at 4, but PU is 10? How are they defining recruiting base? And game atmosphere PU #1? Uh, well, alright. Maybe the visiting locker room sucks.

Just keep that kind of posting on the rivals where they will play along with your non sense. According to your pal over there Donovan was in Bloomington looking at houses LOL! so it is obvious we took our shot the last time we had an opening.

IUFLA Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 23 hours ago, B_A said: He was in serious consideration for the Lakers job, Pelinka was on the Fab 5 team and gave a legit look at him. He's on trajectory to be a NBA HC soon. My point is UM will have far better candidates on their short list than the son of a UM Alum, which was what I was replying to. Like you've said, the program is in great shape, they shouldn't have problems finding a successful coach with plenty of HC experience. Point taken, and you're last sentence is probably right. Back to Juwan. I would think if he's that well thought of, and a college teammate that's an NBA GM (Pelinka) actually thought he had "the goods" then he would have at least deserved the attention that Monty William's and Ty Lue received in the Lakers search. Frank Vogel might end up being a good hire, but he's not an automatic home run by any stretch. Or maybe LeBron just said, "no way." to Howard.
