Things discussed: Beilein, The Myth: He didn't get the early NBA guys but he's incredible at talent evaluation. Other than one-and-done factories nobody has put more guys in the league. Hardaway, Burke, Caris… What's "Proving It" at Cleveland? Getting run in the 1st round as an 8th seed. Cleveland has the #5 pick and crap. Beilein's reasoning: he's 66, coming off heart surgery, working harder than he ever has to in the season Our picks: Craig says there's some Billy Donovan stories out there. Bagging and breaking the rules: Beilein was literally the only guy following the verbal offer rule. Donovan: The talk in coaching circles is Donovan cheated to get established then stopped doing it because he was there. Before/after Anthony Grant. Craig: Plenty of guys who were assistants to head coaches: Frieder, Fisher, Izzo, Orr, etc. Sam: If you're going after Nate Oats, you have to offer him the job. He ain't interviewing. "You can call him. You can get Nate." Nate's not going to be on a board. Brian: "That means he's smart. I like that." Juwan Howard? Got a nephew who's a five-star. Can recruit, is going to be a head coach soon. Michigan: Juwan would be the exception to no-assistants rule. Gotta outbid the Cavs to keep Yaklich, give him some long-term security. Craig's list: Oats, Howard, Yak
