Michigan Basketball: Austin Hatch Helping Michigan in More Ways Than One

Austin Hatch has been inspiring people even before he came to Michigan. Hatch’s story is known by millions of people, both sports fans and non-sports fans alike. He has survived two plane crashes in his life with the second one occurring just a few weeks after he accepted a scholarship to play at the University of Michigan. John Beilein kept that commitment and after a long, miraculous comeback Hatch was part of the Michigan roster this past season. He appeared in five games at the Crisler Center, and scored his first and only career point on a free throw against Coppin State.
