UofMTigers Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I had a feeling it would end up Alford to Indiana and Gregg Marshall to UCLA... UMass needs to offer every penny they have to John Thompson III and Dayton needs to offer every penny they have to Tom Crean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been some questions with John Thompson III since he was hired at GT however with Crean, I don't know with how much they owe him, maybe just sit out a year and get the paycheck and come back next season.

Some of them are bemoaning the fact that they hired a mid major coach. Some were convinced that Billy Donovan was going to be their next coach.

John Thompson III has 346 career wins and a Final Four, plus he's born in Boston...I dunno, just sounds like a good match. I think part of Crean's contract says he has to make a 'good faith' effort to find a head coaching job to offset Indiana's payments...

Some were convinced that Billy Donovan was going to be their next coach. I have talked to some Indiana fans and the ones I have talked to have been pretty down to earth. Sometimes they shoot for the stars but they have been kind of down to earth people. In fact when we were talking they said the worst thing Indiana did was fire Bobby Knight. However UCLA basketball fans, you just can't talk to them it is like they demand a John Wooden coach and a national championship every year. If they don't get that they want the coach out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they defined a good faith effort otherwise that will probably end up in court. He did go to the final four in 2007 but since then GT has struggled in the Tournament and struggled in a few seasons as well. I think he has been on the hot seat for a while with FT but I also think he was put into an impossible situation at times as he kept getting compared to his father's time at GT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a good job with the contract to define that but then again you have to judge the effort put into that. However I would love to get the fringe benefits at my job that he got in the contract.

It must be kinda nice being told "YOU'RE FIRED!!! now, here's 4 million dollars for the effort" go home and the wife asks "how was your day, dear?" and your answer through a big smile is "fantastic!
