Like the annoying announcers pointed out, it goes without saying how classy Beilein is. Of course he called a timeout so the Maryland seniors could get an ovation in the last minutes.

Bang 4 Beilein.
February 24th, 2018 at 2:45 PM ^
would be great for the fans, of course. Would be better to add to this to his accolades.

the NCAA tourney. It should be his second.
February 24th, 2018 at 2:28 PM ^
Beilein rolls.
So... who do we want to steamroll in the tourny?
I want Duke, and another go at MSU. Let's squash 'em!
GoBlue!

at every level, especially the most important levels.

The antithesis of Calipari and Pitino.

The best coach in program history. I don't know if there's a better pure coach (from an X and O standpoint) in the country, and while he may not be the "best recruiter," we know why that is. He does have as good an eye for talent as anyone, with MAAR being just the latest example.
I'm enjoying the man as long as we have him. I hope he chooses to coach another five years.

Right? I was confused as hell when he called a time out. Then, I realized why and just shook my head and gave that man a hand clap on my damn couch.
February 24th, 2018 at 2:48 PM ^
Well, I think he also wanted to clear his own bench. He generally will call a timeout at about that point in a blowout to do that.
February 24th, 2018 at 2:56 PM ^
Maybe. But Maryland was out of timeouts. So they wouldn't have been able to give the seniors their moment had he not done that.

is without a doubt a very class guy, and we are so lucky to have him as our coach. But, Maryland did have one timeout left when Beilein called his to sub in his bench.
February 24th, 2018 at 2:39 PM ^
I think Beilein also has a little luck going for him this year.. had Donlon not left, we would have never hired Yaklich.. that turned out to be the best thing that happened to UM basketball this year.

To Watch a Beilein coached team late in the year.
This team is DANGEROUS. Go Blue.

was shown when JB called a timeout so Maryland could honor their Seniors when they had no timeouts Left...Class Class Class Class!!!! we are truly LUCKY to have him..AND in light of all the dirty programs now under the gun isnt nice to know we have NOTHING to worry about?..JB wasnt able to get all those 5* recruits because they were being bought and paid for by Arizona, KY, Louisvelle, NC, Duke, MSU and many others and YET weve been to 3 sweet 16, 2 elite 8s a final Four and NC in the last 5 years and a couple of Big Ten titles....

Agreed. It isn't a question - I appreciate John Beilein for what he's done with Michigan basketball, and more importantly, especially in the face of everything that is going on at other programs right now, the way he has done it.
February 24th, 2018 at 6:44 PM ^
Clearly this blog suffers from trolls like any other, but I’ve been shocked by our own who want to throw Beilein to the dogs whenever he has a bad stretch. Shame!
February 24th, 2018 at 11:03 PM ^
And it's nice that he's getting some of the appreciation that is well deserved and that has at times been missing from the board. Never could understand the criticism he received after losing players to early entry and injury.
Not only all class but a fiery competitor..we are certainly lucky to have him.
