Report: WV's Beilein hired at Michigan

[sa_butta]

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan hired John Beilein to coach its men's basketball team, a person close to the Wolverines program told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the school wants Beilein to have the opportunity to inform his Mountaineer players that he's leaving before Michigan publicly announces the hiring.
West Virginia player Darris Nichols said Beilein planned to meet with his players Tuesday.

Beilein will be introduced at a news conference on Wednesday in Ann Arbor, the person close to the program said.

Equivalent schools in two different conferences, it seems. At least Ann Arbor beats the pants off whatever you get in West Virginia.

Unless he can beat Izzo...he will suffer the same fate as others.

Not at all...He needs to get in the tourney. Kids here in Detroit are still in love with the fab 5 and the name Michigan...problem is they have sucked since the damn probation. Once they make the tourney the PSL kids will start flowing back to Michigan.

Hell...Tommy was 2-2 against Izzo the past two years with a busted ass offense and a team full of puss'
