John Beilein: The winningest coach in Michigan Basketball history
God bless these guys. What an incredible win.
And what a time to get this one for Beilein. It's been a rollercoaster season, but he did it.

Team's can't play defense, he has a gimmicky offense, he's a terrible recruiter and developer of talent, and he's personally a weak man who doesn't show his toughness, which reflects on the team.
Did I get them all?
You forgot something about inbounds plays and autobench.
Autobench has been much better this season, but yeah inbounding hasn't been a bright spot.
I am slipping.
Good for him. Let's win another.
...about this game. I was on a plane that had a close call years back and I was an emotional wreck for days. Good for the players and coaches for being mentally tough.
Yep, another appreciation thread. I'll appreciate him but....
He's a hell of a coach. We dont know how good we have it. He's been winning without 5-star caliber recruits all these years. If he can ever get to recruiting at an elite level this is a coach that can win us an NCAA championship.
and make a run in March Madness... Shock the World!
Go Blue!
When Sparty took the court for warmups, the UM Basketball Band was booing and chanting "Three and Nine." Props to the band.
should have played the Queen song '39
I really appreciate the OP's choice of font for that graphic.
Way to go, Coach Beilein!
Well deserved.
...with a stick
You weren't invited to this thread.
I'm guessing Coach Beilein may celebrate this victory and his milestone with some subs this evening. Things are going to get crazy.
We're celebrating with subs here at work too, although that's because the shop we normally use was restored earlier today and is willing to speak to us right now.
You take dinner when and how you can get it in my current predicament....which may last into next week at this rate.
I assume you meant this tongue in cheek but I'm going to give a serious reply anyway!
Most bad coaches are fired quickly so they don't have the necessary games to pile up large amounts of losses. Beilein's winning% is 61% which is solid and it's 64% is you remove his first season. Compare that to Orr's 65% and Frieder's 68.7%.
