Not having spent much time in Pittsburgh, but enough, I can't imagine too many coaches that have that as a dream destination....unless it comes with a membership to Oakmont or the Field Club and the coach is a single digit hcp. However, if that is the case, he would likely spend more time on the golf course than the recruiting trail and wash out anyway.
For decades, that was a positive for the Illini BB program as no one wanted to spend any time on the Orange or Blue courses in Savoy. Hence, the Lou Henson years. Explains it all.

Juwan Howard: Let me prove your point by getting all up in your face!!!

I like Shaka. I thought we might get him at one point years ago.
The list of things that would get most coaches fired it getting pretty long for Howard and Harbaugh at Michigan. It is almost like the fanbase and athletic department is a bunch of tools that will put up with anything to win.
Do we really think this is something Juwaan should be punished for or do we just think this because we hate him and Michigan?Juwans punishment handed down by the Athletic Dept at Michigan

As I recall he shunned us. Sounds like he probably wouldn’t have liked it here anyways.
Still think he’s a great coach.
I guess the truth hurts sometimes. Took the S%C Coach to finally say it.
Extend juwan!

Seems entirely credible the way Goodman reports it. Makes me wonder how different the culture is now vs the John Beilein days. Bet they'd like him back.

Wasn't this rumored to be a classic example of Mike Thomas screwing us? I remember there being rumors that Bill Self had told a coach (either Shaka or someone else) that he felt Illinois was one of the best jobs in the country, and then that coach only lost interest once meeting/talking with MT, lol. And (regardless how any did/do turn out), when you consider that Whitman has hired some relatively high-profile coaches ... it definitely seems like our issues during the Beckman/Groce hiring eras had less to do with Illinois than it did to do with Mike Thomas. Anyone seriously think MT could have wooed the sitting basketball coach at Oklahoma State??
Anyway, back to Juwan ... I have gained a TON of respect for Beilein (even more than I already had!) and the players he left behind on that 2021 Michigan team that "won the Big Ten" and made the Elite Eight. Because that pretty clearly wasn't Howard's coaching job, lmao.
That's my one fear if they fire juwan is that they bring beilein back. I didn't think he is coaching right now.

I don't think he is coaching but he is also 70 years old
That explains Harbaugh, now explain why they put up with Howard.
Yes to both...fify

Was this ever confirmed? I always got the impression that the whole story of "Michigan was going to get TSJ before admissions screwed us" full of scUM copium. I interpreted it as TSJ enjoyed his visit and, being the classy guy he is, got along with Dickinson, who got the impression in his pea brain that TSJ was absolutely coming to Michigan. When that didn't happen, Dickinson ran his mouth on Twitter and thus the whole rumor about admissions was born.
