Thanks for the update.
What about option #1 (Drew)? I guess you could draw your own conclusions:
1. It ain’t happening
2. He’s already talked to Drew and he is mulling it over.
3. It was a smokescreen to make Heird look better
Wouldn’t Drew be the first guy you talk to if you were serious about trying to hire him?
Interesting that they could put out those numbers for Drew but no other P6 guys would be interested? And that's not a shot at May just curious.Rutherford saying Cards not pursuing Tang
Drew is the first choice.Pure speculation on my part here. But if we have a shot at a squeaky clean coach with great credentials, why not make him our first choice.
Not admitting the strippers in dorms, coaches involved in restaurant sex, university academic accreditation and more financial shenanigans/ nepotism than the New Chapel Fire and Ambulance service also cost us high dollar sponsors is an agenda driven bit of lunacy.
Didn't somebody say he had an extension?Rutherford saying Cards not pursuing Tang
He got an extension after last years tourney run. Went up to $3M/year and a buyout around $6MDidn't somebody say he had an extension?
Thx Hank keep your info coming it's appreciated.He got an extension after last years tourney run. Went up to $3M/year and a buyout around $6M
If you were serious about him, you would talk only to him, until he tells you he is not interested.Thanks for the update.

Covering bases is one thing, but a guy who has won a National Championship is not likely to be impressed if he is not certain that the job is his if he wants it. You act to cover bases in case he says no, and he needs to know that is your position.We are serious about him. And yet it’s possible and makes sense to have a thorough search in case he says no. I’m pretty confident the Drew camp is not offended that we are covering multiple bases. It’s pretty simple - he could say yes and then Heird wouldn’t have to waste his time with other interviews.
If it's May and he's successful here he might not want to leave. I'm sure it's a question Heird will ask him if interviewed. But if he does then make IU pay a ton of money to get him.I’ve got a feeling (no info) that Dusty May will end up being our guy. To me, he checks all the boxes unless you’re worried about him going to Bloomington down the road.
Exactly what I was thinking, massive buyoutIf it's May and he's successful here he might not want to leave. I'm sure it's a question Heird will ask him if interviewed. But if he does then make IU pay a ton of money to get him.
I thought I was clear on this but maybe not. Drew knows the job is his if he wants it.Covering bases is one thing, but a guy who has won a National Championship is not likely to be impressed if he is not certain that the job is his if he wants it. You act to cover bases in case he says no, and he needs to know that is your position.
A guy like Drew is unlikely to give an answer until his teams eliminated from play this year.
Maybe ask May if he is “Cut like that”!If it's May and he's successful here he might not want to leave. I'm sure it's a question Heird will ask him if interviewed. But if he does then make IU pay a ton of money to get him.
1. Pretty sure Drew and/or his agent are fully aware that he is the number 1 target. It’s been reported in lots of places.Covering bases is one thing, but a guy who has won a National Championship is not likely to be impressed if he is not certain that the job is his if he wants it.

I hated UK before I ever went to UNC. My father worked as an adminsitrator for the VA, and he was stationed at Louisville when I ws at UNC. The is when I first began to follow Louisville sports a bit, enough to know that if the athletics department got backing, it could do much more well than just men's basketball. So I was a big proponent of Louisville to the ACC as soon as Maryland was open about leaving.1. Pretty sure Drew and/or his agent are fully aware that he is the number 1 target.

2. Knowing this, why would Drew be offended if UL interviews other candidates if the deal with Drew has not been settled?
3. Your last statement is a given. Drew won’t/shouldn’t give an answer before his team is eliminated. In the mean time it would seem to be due diligence for UL to explore all possibilities.
BTW, with the word “blue” in your screen name, I have to ask. UK fan?
According to reports, Dusty May is at the top of their list with return to John Belein as 2nd choice. We are not alone - M, OSU and us - that will be in pursuit of Coach May with others sure to join.Juwan Howard out at Michigan. Gonna complicate the search some.
