This is such a special moment for our sport, @FTiafoe was understandably about to launch into a big celebration but delayed it as he ran to a devastated Alex Michelson and hugged for him several seconds.
Huge love and respect for both players. WOW. 🥹 🤗
Michigan's play that "shouldn't have had time added back" took less than 9 seconds to run -- from snap until the defender touched the ball. The officials were right to put time back on the clock.
Watch it with a basketball-style countdown:
the game clock on TV uses whole seconds. when you time the play, it takes between 8.3 and 8.5 seconds

Michigan men’s basketball is hiring Dylan Murphy, most recently the head coach of the Osceola Magic NBA G League Team, as an assistant coach, I’ve learned.
Murphy is a promising offensive mind who has led the Orlando Magic affiliate to two first-place conference finishes in his three seasons. His accolades there include NBA G League Coach of the Month honors in March 2025.

Gary Trent getting 4/$64 after the year he just had is obvious circumvention and should be punished by the league. This would fall under the provision that there is no possible explanation other than circumvention.

Morez is awesome and I understand the temptation for cbb media to think Dusty made the pick but this is much more likely due to Masai’s/Schmitz’s eval + Morez crushing draft workouts (which are usually over-weighted in eval process)

Example 1A of why you shouldn't over-index on drafting for fit.
Something ingrained in me years ago from the great Ben Falk -- "The key in the draft is just getting it right. Drafting for fit involves some measure of confidence that the player you’re drafting will turn out like you expect."
Vlade Divac says he passed on drafting Luka Dončić because he already had a point guard, didn’t want to play him at small forward, and didn’t want a big-name player like Luka in a small market.
“All of my assistants told me that he can play small forward, and I said no, no, Luka is a point guard. Luka is a coach on the floor. And I felt that if I get Luka, I would have to trade De’Aaron Fox, and I already got a relationship with Fox, and I see he’s a perfect fit for us, a small market team, and Luka was a big market player.”
