Looks like Coach B is going to get another Big 10 championship. The Wolverines might win it all this year. Congrats to one of the best coaches in the game.
John Beilein and Michigan

Hear, hear !!!!
Beilein was good for WVU and held the fort till Huggins came along. I wish him well till he meets Press Virginia.
Wait should we or shouldn't we celebrate RR? I'm gonna have to really reach into my soul to defend a guy who wears specific types of underwear to show off his hydraulics....
Amazing how some folks can't give kudos to any former WVU coach for any post Mountaineer achievements. Laughable actually.
If you want to brag on him, then do so.......all you want.......on Michigan's message board.......
Actually, I do celebrate Rich's success here, but as we've seen over the years RR is one of the bad guys in football while Beilein is a class act and of the good ones. Not to mention JB put WVU hoops on the map.
I will agree with a class act, but as soon as he got here he was looking around. Face facts, he used WVU as a stepping stone. Huggs wanted to be here, Dana wants to be here. I'll take them over RR and Beilein any day. Don't believe me, ask your employer.
You forgot to mention he was the only guy who wanted the job at one of the lowest points in the histoy of the basketball program.
LOL. You are as predictable as the sun coming up in the East (you do know that right?)
Well there has been many of posts about past WVU coaches. Is it that painful for you to acknowledge someone that moved on from WVU is doing great things. That guy is a great coach and did some excellent things at WVU. Why so salty?
It’s not that big of deal WVU being a stepping stone and not a destination job. This is Home for Huggins so he’s perfect for the job. I think Dana is tapped out at WVU. He’s a good coach but not top self. So leaving WVU for Holgy would probably be a lateral move that seems senseless.
All jobs are stepping stones...you use them to go forwards or backwards. What matters is how well you did the job while you're in it and Coach B was outstanding.
Being a bad guy is fine, if you win...nobody seems to tolerate a bad guy who loses.
Piss poor free throw shooting is likely going to be the downfall of Michigan in the dance, and maybe a very early exit. Too many players in today's game concentrate on dunks and 3's. Tight games come down to free throw shooting contests when a team is down in the waning moments.
The difference is everyone knew WVU would be a stepping stone. He put in 110% while he was here. He also left on GREAT terms, unlike Rich Rod. I hate how he went to Michigan as I don't like routing for Michigan...however, I only wish Broke in success unload if is against my Mountaineers or the wife's Clemson Tigers.
I will always be grateful to John Beilein, a good guy and a good coach, for rescuing WVU from the Dakitch fiasco. I wish him well in every game except against WVU or Big 12 teams. I wish him extra well against TOFU (Ohio State), my pet name for the nuts (hey, it's their nickname!).
JB left on good terms. Negotiated. RR has friends in low places. He tried to slither out of his terms and take a recruit or two with him as he left. No love left for him for me.
JB came here late and brought in quality players. He took on a challenge and took our team to a high level. I'd say we got our money's worth. No regrets.
I actually prefer his style over Huggins.
It seems to be a bit more successful also.
Still glad Huggins is at WVU. Both are great coaches and we were/are lucky to have them.
