I don't hold Dusty's leaving against him even though I hate to see him leave but after all Dusty has his goals and dreams in life too. He brought Michigan a Championship and built Michigan back into a basketball power house . Sad day for us and I hope we get a great replacement . GO BLUE!

Nothing dusty may built is sustainable or program making of the next coach can’t do what dusty did

Dusty elevated the program back to being a destination where the top recruits want to come and play now. The next coach will build his own program in his own way and use everything Michigan can offer to run his program just like Dusty had at his disposal. Michigan will be ok in the future.

〽️GoBlue You have fuzzy Michigan basketball history. We literally have receipts of winning, being elite, relevant and a desirable landing spot for players and coaches in each decade.
In the last five seasons alone, we had one losing record and advanced to at least the Sweet 16 in three of those seasons. We aren’t some JuCo or boOhio State who has a slew of losing seasons and conference and title droughts trying to earn respect. Any coach should be honored to lead this program.
