Summary

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz offer their initial thoughts on Michigan hiring Dusty May to be its next head men’s basketball coach.

They open with a look at why the hire makes a lot of sense for Michigan. They dig in to what May did well in building Florida Atlantic up, why the Wolverines beat out other programs for this year’s “it” candidate, the value of his college experience and the perks of the timing of the hire.

They also look at some of the questions that persist even with the hiring of May. Included are discussions on May’s relative lack of experience, the challenges of recruiting at Michigan, what the rest of this offseason may look like and the overall unpredictability of college basketball.
