If true this is good news. Keep northeast basketball competitive and set us up with a an on going series with Providence. Hurley-Cooley rivalry can continue!

He's crazy

That's dumb on Cooley's part. Even he must think he could do a better job with all the resources they have at Michigan.

God bless this mess

Reading the rest of his tweets this guy is off his rocker.

Who? Kevin McNamara? He's been covering college hoops a long time and does a good job of it. He's definitely plugged in at PC.

Sounds like Warde's gonna hire a basketball coach with no head coaching experience again

 

[Robertelamin]

Warde is getting fired in roughly 3 years.

 

[FartMan69]

How did Warde stumble into that job anyway?

Maybe Penny's success is blazing a trail for other ex-NBAers.

Michigan wanted a Michigan alum and that is who they got. Thank you for taking him off our hands.

My guess is Cooley didn’t get an offer. Otherwise there is no chance he turns down Michigan. As far as the tweets from NBA guys we got the same nonsense when Ollie was hired. Those guys don’t get that coaching college isn’t the same as in the NBA. But when you read a guy withdrew from consideration that normally means the AD at the new school called and said “Thanks for coming in but we’ve decided to go in a different direction”.

Ok let’s mash those sour grapes and make some good whine.

CBS Sports' Gary Parrish says it's a done deal.

Michigan hires former Fab Five player Juwan Howard to be the next coach of the Wolverines

Michigan has reached back in its proud history to lead its future in basketball

How old are those 2? Howard could be long gone by then. Maybe he should talk to KO about how not to screw up a good thing.

2 more names:

Marcus Jordan
Jeffrey Jordan

I like this hire.

Not so much if I were a Michigan fan. I just like the hire because it will make for added entertainment as a college basketball fan.

If I were a Michigan fan I'd be screaming bloody murder that my school didn't poach someone elses head coach. The problem is that Ed Cooley was not the caliber that Michigan fans believe they deserve.

This is exactly what Clyde Drexler was doing... landing Gee Gervin, Moses Malone Jr, etc.

Here is a list of current or recent college head coaches who played a number of years in the NBA:

Larry Krystkowiak, Johnny Dawkins, Aaron McKie, Danny Manning, Kevin Ollie, Clyde Drexler, Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullen, Penny Hardaway, Donyell Marshall, Fred Hoiberg, Damon Stoudamire, Scott Padgett, Jerry Stackhouse.

It looks like Holberg has had the best run so far, but I think it is tough to go from an NBA player to a college head coach.

Take a second and think if LeBron an Ohio man who says he would have gone to OSU had he went to college, would sign off on his kid going to Michigan.

 

[Pudge]

Your intuition is correct

Warde Manuel is woefully inept at the concept,search & hiring of Program College coaches in major sports. We should be thrilled he’s at UM

You forgot Thunder Dan Majerle.
