| Next Michigan Basketball Head Coach
Now that they canned Tommy Amaker, who do you think the Wolverines will go after? My list would include the following list of suspects:
Tony Bennett (not the crooner that left his heart in San Francisco)
John Beilien
Mike Montgomery
Tubby Smith
Bruce Pearl
Steve Lavin

| Especially after all the progress he has started, the renovations and such, and the Dane Bradshaw scholarship that he started. | |

| Speaking of Amaker and his Duke connection, has Coach K for all his greatness been very sucessful in turning out head coaches like say a Dean Smith or Bobby Knight? | |

So compared to Knight and Smith, definitely not. Compared to Billy Donovan, probably not. Compared to Jerry Green, yeah, probably. | |

Yeah... when was the last time we had a football coach being whispered about? Or an assistant coach (outside of Trooper to Texas)? | |
