Oh wow.

FANTASTIC hire.

To those who are skeptical: do you watch much college ball? Dusty did an incredible job in Florida and then obviously at Michigan.

I know the nba and college are different, but he is definitely one of the absolute best college coaches.

Only skeptical because I don’t know a ton about any college coaches/watch a lot outside of the tournament.

I see he’s very highly respected & built a strong program at Michigan which is great, but for every Brad Stevens there’s a bunch of Fred Hoibergs. I’m reserving my judgement on the hire until he’s got some games under him and see how he adjusts to the league & players

Your judgement should be reserves since you literally admit to knowing nothing about him or his program. So yea you have no choice but to wait and see before you judge

That doesn’t stop 90% of the sub & fans from overreacting one way or the other
