Michigan's Amaker says he's been fired
By LARRY LAGE
AP Sports Writer
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan coach Tommy Amaker said Saturday he has been fired. Amaker's sixth season with the Wolverines ended Thursday night with an 87-66 loss at Florida State in the NIT, a disappointment for a team that expected to reach the NCAA tournament this season.

I figured this was going to happen sooner rather than later. The natives were beginnning to get VERY restless.

To All Michigan fans on this site
Well you guys got your wish don't come complaning if we still suck for 5-6 years and Yous ask yourselves why couldn't we keep Amaker one more year to get Legion and Harris. I still think Harris comes, but I don't know about Legion. Well now that he is fired and I got off that off my chest, please hire SIU coach. Hopefully this is a message to Lloyd Carr that it's time to step up or be gone.

I've been saying this since right after we beat Michigan in 2004: If Carr loses at Michigan in 2005 (which he did) and loses at Ohio State in 2006 (which he did) he'll still be around (which he is), but if he then loses at Michigan in 2007 he's gone. Losing to Ohio State this upcoming season would make him 1-3 at home against Tressel, 1-6 against him overall, and 0-4 in the last four Games. That would be only the third 4-loss streak by Michigan in the history of the series, and those 4-loss streaks are the longest by Michigan (Ohio State has never won 5 straight...yet).

With the lack of financial & administrative support for UM bball, I think that would be a lateral move, at best. I would not leave SIU, Marquette, Gonzaga for UM's bball program.

Looks like UM dodged a huge bullet with this firing. They desperately need Legion & Harris to be a decent ballclub, especially with how badly their 08 recruiting has been.

Quote:
"I'm still committed to Michigan, as long as I have players around me like (incoming recruit) Corperryale Harris and (current player) DeShawn Sims," Legion said.
...
"I'm surprised, shocked and disappointed," Legion said. "Coach Amaker is the coach I wanted to play for."
Legion said that Amaker called Saturday morning to tell him about the firing and encouraged him to stay at Michigan to help turn the program around.

Mili, I think 2007 will be the end either way for Carr. Had they won last year I think that he would have retired.
