John Beilein Leaving Michigan Basketball for Cleveland Cavaliers
Methinks the Cavs' owner, Detroit's Dan Gilbert, made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

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.

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.
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".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.

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?

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.
