Cool. Only 10 more wins against Penn State or worse type teams for guys like you to say "He's only the winningest coach in program history" to those who want a change.

Suggestion:

For these trolls, can there be a way to send an auto generated email each time they post a comment?  I know their comments are hidden here, but they show on the app.

Maybe there can be a setting where users with a bunch of negative points get a reminder emain of why they are in Bolivia.  Something not rude, of course, but a message about how they aren't cute or funny or clever and maybe they should focus their efforts elsewhere.

There is no real way to monitor the trolls on the app - I can't even delete anything in that environment actually. As for negative points, there are plenty of people who have been sent to Bolivia with negative points and no expiration date set on those points, meaning the adjustment is basically permanent until it isn't (i.e., intervention from a mod). Sometimes, in their moderation history, we leave nasty-grams - I've left some snarky ones in my time in this role.

I was thinking about something auto generated.  A long time ago, I made a comment on a thread and that thread was deleted.  I received an auto generated email that my comment was deleted.  (Hasn't happened since and I've posted a few "IBD" comments).

 

Thanks for your reply.

Consistently has shot clock problems. the ball never touches the paint. Doesn't get lay ups. Anyone can design an offense to get open threes. Before Mo, opposing bigs were the most well rested people in the planet. Glenn Robinson used to go entire possessions without moving from the corner.

I'm happy for Coach Beilein. I really am. I think he's done great things the last decade and is a great ambassador for the university. I just do not have a good feeling about this team or the direction of the program.

Good for him. I can't wait for this to be held against him. Also, the fact he is the losingest coach in UM history is surely not something people will harp on.

how the records pair up—Orr & Beilein's records are pretty similar; Frieder and Fisher's records are very similar; and Amaker and Strack were pretty equal.

It's also odd that Orr and Beilein were also both coaches who took their teams to a championship game yet endured consistent criticism for much of their tenures.

Maybe because they both stuck around just a little too long.  It is odd though, Orr followed up a NCG appearance and an Elite 8 with 3 subpar years and Beilein is well on his way to doing the same.  History repeats itself I guess.

he's about to be the winningest coach in program history, averaging 20 wins per year with a NC appearance, two BIG regular season championships, 2014 coach of the year and we are supposed to get rid of him. Plus he dragged the program from Rutgers land let's not forget. Do I hope for better...sure. M I really glad he's the coach...yes I am. Congratulations Coach!

You're exactly right.  Looking at Orr's record the team only played 30 games 3 times while he was at UM and two of those 3 seasons were exactly 30 games.

The fewest amount of games a Beilien coached UM team has played is 32 - and those are the years when UM didn't make a post season tourney.

Whenever I hear the "replace Belein" chorus I wonder who we would get as a replacement. What do we want the identity of Michigan basketball to be? Would you trade Belein for John Calipari? Would we want a coach like Bill Self? I actually like the identity of Belein's Michigan teams, and I like the feel of the progam. And I would never want a coach that recruited dirty like you hear so much about in top tier D1 basketball.

Yes and yes.  I want to enjoy watching Michigan basketball, which I don't anymore.

 

But Calipari is pretty extreme.  There are viable candidates out there with no history of cheating that are capable of injecting new life into this program.  At this point, that's what's needed the most.

I think Bennett could land better talent at Michigan. Pair a couple shooters with his defenders and maybe he gets that championship. Bo Ryan almost got it done a couple seasons ago as did Dick Bennett back in 2000. Big men that play strong defense with athletic shooters on the perimeter is ideal. And of course a PG that can run it.

Wonder no more. Pretty simple really.

Replacement: Someone who loves recruiting. You don't have to be dirty to love the process. See JMFH

Identity: How about tough inside presence, rebounding, blocked shots, toughness like the football program (make the school identity consistent), athletic

Love Beilein. Great man and teacher. But not how I want our program identity to be. I want a team that can bang around the Big Ten like the rest of the good programs such as MSU, Indiana, Wisconsin, etc.

I am a die-hard M fan but if I was playing basketball and I had to choose one school in Michigan to be a part of a team and brotherhood, it wouldn't be in Ann Arbor because of the soft type of program it is. 

And yeah I would take a guy like Bill Self. 11 or 12 consecutive conference championships would be okay by me.

Not only is this misleading based on total number of games (for example, in Fisher's day there were 28 regular season games; today there are 31 + the B1G tourney) but we've never really challenged ourselves much in the non-conference schedule over the Beilein era, driving up the winning percentages.
