DW is playing with the swagger we have not seen since Trey Burke.  We've been looking for a leader, and finally found one.

 

Only one solution

JB needs to go as soon as the season is over. Be shown the door immediately after they are embarrassed in the big 10 tourney. What is his record against MSU, OSU, Wisconsin, and Crean combined? Pitiful. He arrogantly talks about how his freshmen take so much time to understand his offense....well, of course not, his recruiting is horrible...on the heals of a national championship run. He will continue to recruit MAC level talent. That was the question from the start. Fire him....he is embarrassing when compared to a Harbaugh coached team. Arrogant prick.

3 words for Warde Manuel

Offer Tony Bennett-  Virginia

Any chance

Of course not.  First, it's Beilein, who cannot recruit, secondly, will he want to come to a school who barely makes the NCAA'a?

Article

There is an interesting article out there (can't remember what publication) that better explains Beilein's recruiting philosophy, and it was an excellent read.  He is not wasting his time on one or two year players, but focusing on players he can develop and will stay.  It is very obvious, that with Caris, this team would easily be in the tourney, and winning 22 games with this lineup is pretty darn good.  I actually think the next 3-5 years look pretty good...losing 5 players in 2 years is tough to overcome.  I have been a big Beilein critic this year, but am seeing the big picture.  At the end of the day, a great coach, doing things the right way, at a football school.  We will be fine!

Dont agree

I have been a critic this year, but am very willing to eat humble pie.  To do this without the two seniors, one who is a legit start....come on.  22 wins with this team is actually pretty amazing.

Couldn't agree more

Comes off a NC game and can only land 2-3* athletes.  I would like to have Michigan hire a coach with at least one foot in the 21st century please.  He even looks pathetic in his press conferences....chewing gum is one of his strongest attributes at this point.  He ain't getting any 4-5* athletes in the near future.  UofM basketball is on a downward spiral for the next 3-5 years because of his incompetence.  Even if we would fire him next year, it will take the next coach 2-4 years to rebuild the mess this guy has created.  Get lost Jim...nice man, polite, kind, but a complete and total wimp.

This team

doesn't have a chance.  Wait until the end of the season when 2-3 players leave the team in disgust.  JB should be coaching in Divison II....way over his head.

 

Good bye John

I think the Iowa game, along with a 2-15 record against Wisconsin, for God's sake, should be enough to run this Division II coach out of town.....but it won't

Don't be fooled

We will get stomped at Wisconsin and handled by Iowa at home. The Wiscy coach know how to coach defense and toughness....ours puts up with no defense and no intensity. Caris is nothing but a distraction....put him in a suit and tell him his UofM career is over....he quit on this team weeks ago in favor of a weak NBA career. Beilein won't get a sniff of another final four in his career. Very disappointed in UofM basketball....just look at Beileins career record against MSU, OSU, Wisconsin and Indiana. The guy is mediocre at best.

Because

That is what we are .....p$$$$$s. Michigan basketball is hopelessly lost in total mediocrity with JB at the helm. OSU played with grit, we played like we didn't want to get our hands dirty. Beilein's system simply is out dated and inappropriate for the Big Ten. As long as he is coach we will be mediocre. Just look at his record against the strong teams in our league since 2007-2008. He gets schooled by the good coaches....and I don't even think Crean is a good coach, yet our coach rarely can beat him. Beilein doesn't coach toughness....just 3 point shooting. I am so over UofM basketball.,..I even stuck with them through the horrible years...,but I hate mediocrity. Too bad our coach doesn't.

Poor effort

From the start.  Come off a great win at Purdue and they act like they don't want to be in Ohio for this game.  Still predict they will not make the NCAA's.  Beilein can't coach the new kids up and is paying for it now that they need minutes from the bench and can't get them.  Would be nice if we had a coach that could actually recruit...especially coming off that National Championship game.  Personally, I would like to see UofM get a coach who at least has one foot in the 21st century.  JB cannot coach in the Big Ten.

Press conference

Great comment on here about the MSU team laughing at us...then our coach goes in to the presser raving about their talent, which is accurate, though John, why aren't you recruiting talent.  Oh wait, you are, just none of them come to UofM, for some reason.  One thing this coach is really good at is chewing gum in a press conference, now there was some real talent. He finally got me to completely become embarrassed to be a UofM basketball fan, something I never thought could happen.  I will be back when this gum chewing wussie gets his walking orders.

Beiein=Hoke.  Except, Hoke

Beiein=Hoke.  Except, Hoke was a better recruiter.  This should make all of us shudder.

Just the truth

Listening to JB's press conference was the most depressing thing I have ever seen.  He has no idea what to do.  Wow.

Post game comments

Did anyone see JB's press conference?  Very classy to compliment the other team and the players....both IU and MSU....but....John, why does MSU and IU have such superior talent, per your comments?  Why could you not recruit coming off the NC game?  Frankly, the press conference was a real admission to some horrible recruiting and even worse coaching.  He basically threw up his hands and admitted that they have no idea what to do, but "work harder".  What a bunch of crap we have on our hands with this team and staff.  Remember, this is the guy who said after the Indiana game "we will try to do better".  I almost choked when I heard that wimpy response.  Get tough or get out of AA John.

 

Should have

seen this coming.  This could have been predicted after the SMU and Xavier games.  Michigan basketball is so out of step with Big Ten basketball, and how it is played, that it has become painful the last few years.  Coming off a National title run, and look at our recruits.  Changes need to be made, and if it includes the coach, well, so be it.  Manuel comes from a college that knows a thing or two about basketball.  Go ahead Ward, get tough.  Recruit Bennett like Harbaugh was recruited.

 

Medicruty

How in the world can a coach not recut off the 2013 run, Only one coach in Amercia could achieve that level of mediocrity, one Mr. John Beilein. We won't make the NCAA's this year or next due to his horrible recruiting. Mr Manuel...see what you can do. Bunch of sorry, soft losers.
