Michigan BB Head Coach Position
Canton
Quote:
Gary Grant wants to coach at Michigan
Sunday, March 25, 2007
By LARRY LAGE
AP Sports Writer
Gary Grant was known as "The General" when he played point guard at Michigan two decades ago.
Now, the Mckinley graduate wants to come back to Ann Arbor, Mich., to lead the Wolverines from the sidelines.
"I just want to let everyone know that I would love an opportunity to have the job," Grant said Saturday - a week after Tommy Amaker was fired. "I want to bring it back like it was before.
"I think they need to bring back a Michigan guy."
A message was left with Athletic Director Bill Martin, who has previously declined to comment on the coaching search.
A long time
The Wolverines haven't won a Big Ten title since Grant helped them to conference championships in 1985 and 1986, his first two seasons on campus.

Michigan
I understand that Lon Kruger said he doesn't want to leave UNLV and while I want to believe the Running Rebs' head coach, we all realize plenty of coaches say that prior to taking another job.
What was Kruger supposed to say in the middle of an NCAA tournament run?
Sources indicate that Kruger and Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt are two names that Michigan has identified as candidates to replace Tommy Amaker in Ann Arbor. If Kruger does leave Vegas, it shouldn't take long for the Rebels to bring on alum Reggie Theus, who has done a terrific job at New Mexico State the last two seasons. Oregon's Ernie Kent is campaigning for the job because he wants out of Eugene ? and the feeling is mutual.

I believe some well-known, name guys who are currently between jobs have been lining up for behind the scenes interviews in Ann Arbor. Big names that might surprise you.
