Once a Michigan man, always a Michigan man. Respect is something that coaches take very seriously. It’s not something that is solely earned based on wins and losses.
New Michigan basketball head coach Dusty May was introduced on Tuesday and he made a really positive impression. Wolverine fans who weren’t behind the hire, are throwing their support behind May.
It was the start of a new era for the Michigan basketball program on Tuesday as Dusty May, the new head coach, was introduced by the Wolverines. Winning the press conference is overblown and it doesn’t mean anything in terms of actually winning games.
It’s hard not to be excited about the hire of Dusty May as Michigan basketball head coach. Some fans weren’t thrilled with the hire, but it’s hard to be mad about someone John Beilein endorses.
Things change quickly, for better or worse, in college athletics. Five years ago, John Beilein unexpectedly left the Michigan Wolverines — a program he more or less resurrected from rock bottom — to pursue his dream of coaching in the NBA.
The Juwan Howard era of Michigan basketball came to an end on Friday as Warde Manuel announced he was making a change. For many Michigan basketball fans, the news came as a relief.
The last time I put one of these lists together was May 2019. I was in Barcelona on the beach enjoying the afternoon when my phone buzzed that John Beilein took the Cavaliers job.
It is safe to say that former Michigan coach John Beilein is not happy with the state of the program under his successor.
It’s been a rough reason for Michigan basketball. Whether it’s the record, the loss of a long-time strength and conditioning coach, Jon Sanderson, or just some unfortunate luck — nothing has gone right for the Wolverines.
John Beilein certainly had Illinois Basketball’s number. The former Michigan Basketball coach went 17-8 during his tenure at Illinois, including winning his last fourteen of the sixteen meetings.
I'm not breaking any news here by stating that neither Bob Huggins or John Beilein will be the next men's head basketball coach at West Virginia - much to the chagrin of many Mountaineer fans.
Former Michigan head coach John Beilein had some interesting things to say about the Michigan State basketball lineups. John Beilein knows Michigan State basketball and Tom Izzo as well as anyone outside of East Lansing.
Michigan State men's basketball limps into the month of March fresh off back-to-back home losses to Iowa and Ohio State, two teams who reside in the bottom-half of the Big Ten standings.
After a First-Round exit in the NCAA Tournament, West Virginia experiences major madness within their program. After the legendary coach Bob Huggins resigned over a recent DUI incident, the Mountaineers attempt to find a new head coach.
If the talented roster remains intact, it would be just one of many selling points for candidates, as West Virginia also boasts top-notch facilities and has strong NIL backing.
Five coaches -- Roy Williams, Jim Calhoun, John Beilein, Lon Kruger and Jerry Krause -- have been named to the National College Basketball Hall of Fame along with former players Richard Hamilton, Larry Miller and Frank Selvy.
Rip Hamilton was quite possibly the most underrated player in UConn basketball history. John Beilein and Lon Kruger were not the most demonstrative coaches on the sidelines.
If you were not paying attention, then you may have missed John Beilein’s 54-game tenure as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, the fact that Beilein resigned from his position with the Cavaliers may have saved the Cavaliers.
When former coach John Beilein was hired as the Senior Player Development Advisor for the Detroit Pistons, most fans were excited, mostly because we had heard of him.
the Cavaliers’ decision to hire a longtime college coach — along with the suspicion that Beilein would fail to adjust to NBA players — arguably was all but doomed to fail from the start.
