Re: Beilein Bolts To NBA
I can assure you that the lowlife pond scum known as Tom Izzo had NOTHING to do with Beilein's decision to leave. I'm just annoyed he chose CLEVELAND of all places. In retrospect, I wish he had taken the Pistons job last year.

Re: Beilein Bolts To NBA
Sad to see him go but I don't think the word "bolts" is accurate. He spent 12 years here. I think of bolting as someone who leaves after a year or two. But I suppose its semantics

Re: Beilein Bolts To NBA
Methinks the Cavs' owner, Detroit's Dan Gilbert, made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
Okay, (sc)UM fans, who do you want to replace him?

Bolt - The act of moving with great haste.
I'd say Beilein's decision was a "bolt" out of the "blue" (See what I did there? ). I certainly didn't see it coming; I don't think anyone did.

Again semantics but just because you or I was caught by surprise doesn't mean "bolt" to memoldyoldie wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 9:58 amFrom my Princeton University WordWeb dictionary:craig11152 wrote:Sad to see him go but I don't think the word "bolts" is accurate.

Suppose you came home from work one day and your neighbors had a for sale sign in the yard. Are they bolting because you didn't know even if they had talked about it themselves for months?

Re: Beilein Bolts To NBA
Our being surprised has little to do with the definition; they haven't "bolted" till they actually leave. If they leave with great haste once they do leave, then they've "bolted". I'm sure Beilein has been contemplating this move for weeks.craig11152 wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 12:23 pmAgain semantics but just because you or I was caught by surprise doesn't mean "bolt" to memoldyoldie wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 9:58 amFrom my Princeton University WordWeb dictionary:craig11152 wrote:Sad to see him go but I don't think the word "bolts" is accurate.

Re: Beilein Bolts To NBA
Juwan Howard is a name that's getting a lot of play as a potential successor. Might be tough to do better than that, as badly as I want a seasoned college head coach with a great resume.
LaVall Jordan is another name that belongs on the list.

Re: Beilein Bolts To NBA
Can't blame the guy. Pragmatically it will be the last coaching gig in his career. While Michigan was paying him well, if you're 66 years old and have an opportunity to sign a five year contract for major league cash to close out your career you do it.
Good luck coach!

Re: Beilein Bolts To NBA
Beilein wasn’t the coach suspended, or the coach covering up sexual assault scandals. That would be Izzo, the biggest fraud out there.
This tells you how bad the Pistons offer was a while back. Cleveland is a mess and that won’t change. Doesn’t really matter, since there are only 2 or 3 teams in the league that have a shot.

Juwan Howard got the job, as many expected. Five year deal.
As usual, our local beat writers were late arrivals to the scene. National folks were on the story hours ago.

Re: Beilein Bolts To NBA
I'm happy with the selection and think he will be successful. I wouldn't give the national writers too much credit...

Re: Beilein Bolts To NBA
I certainly prefer him to the guy from Providence!
Will be interesting to see if more top tier in-state recruits now pick Michigan over MSU. Howard's youth and successful NBA career - and yes, his ethnicity - could prove to be major assets.

Re: Beilein Bolts To NBA
You Michigan guys are dreaming, this will not be a successful hire. He has ZERO head coaching experience and ZERO college coaching experience. We'll see if he can recruit, but considering his glory days were in the early '90's, I am not sure how many kids headed for college can relate to him. And if Yaklich and/or Saadi go, it's gonna be Brady Hoke time at Crisler.
