The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

Subtlety, thy name is Beilein

John Beilein is quite happy, thank you.

Beilein previously coached at West Virginia for five years, guiding the Mountaineers to the Elite Eight in 2005.

Michigan is his fourth Division 1 school.

“I have finally come to a place that I love,” Beilein said. “I have said that there are only two places I would rather coach at.

“One is an orphanage, because I wouldn’t have their parents bothering me. And second, a prison, because I wouldn’t have to worry about the alumni coming back.”
