Glad it wasn't Donlon or Washington. Be nice to have some continuity this year.
Meyer was with Michigan quite a while though...
and that's in spite of a great deal of negbanging
I'm with you (both times).
ironic that my comment was referring to the way he gets bombed, not the bombing he does, but that also works--especially given his downvoting both you and I (and anyone else in the thread who says anything at all)
Maizen created a post on Michigan basketball and didnt include one iota of chortling.
For shame.
I did no subtraction or addition on his account, but if I had to guess, it is a sign error on the part of someone else. Negative, positive....it all runs together after a while, you see.
Oh well. We don't get it right all the time.
This seems surprising considering Meyer is such a longtime Beilein loyalist. At least we still have continuity with the other two assistants, but it's disappointing to lose a longtime guy to a lateral role at Butler. Oh well, onward.
Hoping that Beilein is sending Meyer there to help "build up" LaVall as a better head coach, to eventually bring him back as Michigan's HC down the line.
Meyer is from Indiana and still has family there. He's also going to be Jordan's top assistant at Butler which I don't think was the case here once Donlon came onboard. Good hire by Vall.
There is a lot of back story to Meyer. I know it was linked to here at mgoblog in the past. He got shafted for reasons out of his control. Sometimes coaching can be political in a way that isn't very nice. He really should have been a head coach again, although that ship has probably sailed for good. Anyway, it was a "win win" situation. Beilein picked up a great coach, who was a good guy. Helped Beilein, and also helped Coach Meyer. I am pretty sure that Beilein and Meyer are all on the same page with this move.
The same Jeff Meyer who "ruined the IU basketball program?"
EDIT: beaten by a minute and I downvoted myself for it. #IEATSHIT
Your #IEATSHIT hashtag made me chuckle.
This is odd. Wonder what happened behind the scenes.
I think this is one time we can take someone at his word---he's going home to Indiana. [I also think he realized he wasn't ever going to become a head coach again, so he's past looking for stepping stones]
Is this because of his right-on-point #hottake about our scheduling Prarie View A&M or whatever for basketball?

Rooting for their success
I expect donlon to be elevated and beilein can bring in a young recruiter- important move , may be beilein's last hire
Donlon sat next to Beilein the entire season last year. Not sure where exactly he would be elevated to.
He gets to sit on Beilein's lap next season

Steve Fisher coming home?
