More Signs point to Beilein

Nathan Fenno of MLIVE reports that there are three finalists for the Michigan Basketball job opening:

The search for a Michigan men’s basketball coach has centered on three names - West Virginia’s John Beilein, Vanderbilt’s Kevin Stallings and Southern Illinois’ Chris Lowery - multiple sources told The News on Thursday.

Beilein, whose West Virginia team beat […]

Beilein looking like the front-runner for Hoops opening

The two most connected columnists when it comes to University of Michigan athletics are Jim Carty from the Ann Arbor News and Michael Rosenberg from the Free Press. Other columnists have chimed in on whether Tommy Amaker should have been let go and on the search for a replacement. Those other commentators have […]

Ben Howland has similar philosophy, history as Lowery

I found this article from Jeff Goodman at Fox Sports to be interesting. If you follow college basketball you know that Ben Howland’s UCLA teams play great defense. That was also the case when he coached the Pittsburgh Panthers. However his teams at Pittsburgh sound pretty similar to Chris Lowery’s Southern Illinois […]

Basketball Coach Search Takes Intersting Turn

Tubby Smith moving on from the University of Kentucky to the University of Minnesota added a huge dose of intrigue to the coaching search at the University of Michigan. The reaction from the Michigan fanbase has fallen into one of two starkly different categories: paranoia that Michigan is going to miss out on the […]

Weighing the coaching candidates

Michael Rosenberg of the Free Press has a really good article this morning. As I’ve mentioned before, he’s the best columnist in Detroit. This article on the choice Bill Martin faces in hiring the next Michigan Basketball coach is yet another example of Rosenberg’s talent.
He goes back to 1999 and looks at three […]

Good News for the next Michigan Basketball Coach

Nathan Fenno of MLIVE reports that two key freshman have no plans to transfer now that Michigan is looking for a new basketball coach:

Ekpe Udoh isn’t going anywhere. And neither is DeShawn Sims. Three days after Michigan fired men’s basketball coach Tommy Amaker, Udoh told The News he has no plans to transfer, […]

Debate on the allure of the M Hoops Program

Is Michigan basketball a top 10 program or is it outside of the top 20? That seems to be the debate that was taking place yesterday. Nathan Fenno over at MLIVE spoke with Jay Bilas - who is good friends with Tommy Amaker - and Bilas had this to say:

“You wouldn’t put Michigan […]

Let the Search Begin…

It was reported yesterday that Tommy Amaker was relieved of his duties as the head coach of the University of Michigan men’s basketball team. While I hate to see coaches fired, I’m also realistic and have no problem being critical when it is warranted - such as Matt Millen’s “management” of the Detroit Lions […]

End of the Line for Tommy Amaker?

In a world where Matt Millen still has a job with the Detroit Lions, perhaps there is a case to be made for Tommy Amaker to stay on as the head coach of the University of Michigan men’s basketball team. Terry Foster evidently lives in that world:

Amaker needs to improve as a coach and […]

Those who stay will be NIT Participants

Sorry for the delay in posting…my hosting provider evidently had issues with the time change. Anyways, Michigan basketball fans are looking forward to the annual tradition of following the team as they compete in the NIT tournament. If there is one area where Michigan basketball has succeeded under Tommy Amaker it has been […]
