Jalen Rose needs to lead an intervention within the athletic department.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to support John Beilein. Yes, this was one game, but we've seen this movie so many damn times the last few years, and there's really no sign of improvement. The same problems plague Michigan basketball year after year under Beilein: streaky shooting, awful interior defense, poor rebounding, a lack of athleticism.
The worst part is that there's no rational reason to believe things will turn around. This team returned 10 players from last year and scored 30 fewer points than Louisiana Tech.

Does no part of you question why we just had the worst offensive peformance in Beilein's tenure? Jesus. It's year ten. We shouldn't be scoring 46 points against a shitty SEC team.

I'm glad we had this kind of game in the "pre-season". Plenty of time to adjust.

Yes, poor shooting "happens to every team." It happens too much to John Beilein teams.

Six of the last 7 years they've been in the top 42 out of 300+ teams, with 4 in the top 25.
This was one really, really bad game. The Lakers beat the Warriors last season. Shit happens. Advocating firing Beilein at this point is misguided at best. Let the season play out and then you can piss and moan if that makes you feel better.

November 23rd, 2016 at 8:29 PM ^
Hey, if we're shooting 323% from the field, we are probably doing really, really, SUPER well, right???

shot to the heart and Beilein is to blame
he gave hoops a bad name.

Devastating rebuttal.
Would like you another one? Let's try rebounding rate:

how about a list of the number of times I've been caught masturbating on a year by year basis.
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:22 PM ^
Really, a lists worth of times? You're not trying to get caught, are you?
November 24th, 2016 at 1:18 AM ^
During the Beilein era or before?

We'll see.
November 23rd, 2016 at 11:12 PM ^
Now there's a criticism that actually makes sense. Izzo's teams constantly win with defense and rebounding. Beilein is attempting to fix that this year by giving DJ more time. He had 14 rebounds in the previous game, but only 4 tonight. Whose fault is that? We were only outrebounded by 4 tonight, and considering how many shots we missed, that's remarkable. Give it time.

Wait, I'm supposed to take solace in the fact that we just turned in our worst offensive performance under Beilein, and did so with ten returning players?
November 23rd, 2016 at 7:59 PM ^
Seriously, what is wrong with you? Do you expect to never have a terrible shooting game? You're a reactionary nut.
November 23rd, 2016 at 8:07 PM ^
It's just astounding that certain fans can watch the same thing happen over and over again and insist it's an anomaly every time. This is full-blown Rich Rod syndrome. But hey, maybe Beilein finishing 7th or lower in the conference for the sixth time in ten years will change your mind.

They said this on the telecast - before I got smart and muted it - and I don't see how that is possible unless you are counting walk-ons. I assumed the SEC network announcers were morans but now you are repeating it so maybe I am missing something.
I count 7 - Irvin, Walton, Wagner, Donnel, DJ, Rahk, and Robinson. Who am I missing? Dakitch? Lonergan?
That said I was disappointed in the game. Walton and (particularly) Irvin seemed to lose composure and start jacking up 3s long before it was needed due to time and deficit. Donnel works hard but is just "soft" from what I see out there. (not that I could do anything close to what he does as is). If Robinson isnt hitting 3s he shouldn't be on the floor -- SC players seemed to seek him out and drive any time they got matched up with him.
I still like the potential of this group and particularly the younger guys, but there does seem to be something missing in term of leadership, heart, or composure with this team.

and it reminded me of some of the wisdom you often get around here after a Michigan team loses. The same twelve-year-olds shouting that all is lost after the first loss of the season, the same three hackneyed slices of baloney bloviation:

the total lack of commitment to rebounding, the lack of intentisity and lack of aggressiveness many games is on the head coach.

Had to quit watching. Not because the game was out of hand, but because it was excruciatingly boring. South Carolina was playing football and Michigan was playing cribbage.
November 23rd, 2016 at 7:16 PM ^
But this is exactly the team I was afraid we might have. Hopefully this was a one off shit show. I tell ya though you can't be this reliant on the 3 and have sustainable success. WTF happened to the D we've been playing?

I am confident in predicting we will not have another game this season with a 1:8 assist: turnover ratio.
Sometimes you just play a shitty game. We played two really good ones before this. Let's hope those are more indicative of this team's level.

Is what surprises me the least. Kid is an average bench player at best. Not close to a starter on an elite team
