@TheSports_Shift In my opinion it would be Gordie Howe. The reason is Ted Williams was considered the "greatest hitter" in Major League history. Gordie Howe, until Wayne Gretzky came along was arguably considered the "greatest hockey player" of all time!!🏒

When a college coach bolts for the NBA, it always looks like a mistake. But Dusty May has his reasons, and I bet he won't be the last elite coach to abandon the college basketball chaos. Tough blow for Michigan.
