Coach Beilein 799 wins
HAIL BEILEIN!!! Win this for him
to get his first national championship on #800.
there can be no doubt Coach Beilein has gotten to this point by doing things by the rules rather than by ignoring or breaking the rules.
Based on this criteria alone, Beilein deserves to win and deserves the accolades that would follow. And though Villanova appears to be a team without a weakness, I have little doubt that Coach and his staff will find some flaws to exploit and will have the players ready to do just that. But this is the case only because of Beilein's leadership and coaching and preparation over the entire long season and really, the culmination over many years of toiling and tooling, trial and error, success and heartbreak.
What more fitting now, I ask, than to finally tie a bow on it all by ending the season with a championship, a trophy for not just Coach Beilein but for The Team, The Team, The Team, past present and future, for the players on the court Monday for buying in to what Coach Beilein is preaching, and for the entire program for the long winding road it has taken since the'89 National Championship.
And to make it win #800 to reward the best Coach in College Basketball just seems so fitting, so just.
One win, one ring, one net, one trophy. For the one coach MOST deserving.
Absolutely THE best coach at UM!
Wining against a Villanova juggernaut as a 7 point underdog would be the best cherry on top anyone could imagine. He is friends with Jay Wright, and there is a lot of respect between the two. Disney could not write a better script for this team. Win or lose, Coach B and this team are special. Let’s go get the storybook ending!
However, my blood alcohol concentration is still pretty high.
At 6 in the morning? You’re such a hillbilly. Go Blue!
Moonshine is powerful stuff...
Just such a class act. Self-deprecating. Clearly loves the kids and the University. Win it for Coach. Love to see him hoist the trophy and soak in the well-deserved praise.
which just plays into our super sneaky plan to win the championship on Monday night.
This is a good talking point for gamenight. Also karma and the 2013 vacated title.
Still, just talking points. They all need to play hot.
So glad he is at Michigan.
As a coach, Beilein is a model for what teachers should do.

Go Beilein!
Go Beilein!
Go Beilein!
Go Blue!!
Les Mis tunes and basketball rhymes are going through my head; I need to write 'em down so they'll stop. So,
One game more:
A final game, a date with destiny,
One more display of coaching wizardry.
Our foes in prior games did fall
And now we look to win it all,
One game more.
Raise now a tribute to coach B:
This magic run to be completed.
Tomorrow night perchance we’ll see
The final foe will be defeated . . . .
What a cherry on top that would be to win the National Championship, and at the same time, get Coach Beilein his 800th win! He deserves it, and so does the entire team and staff!
