Father vs. Son: Patrick Beilein Knows Le Moyne's Exhibition against John's Michigan Will Be Special

Maize n Brew's Alejandro Zuniga spoke with Le Moyne basketball coach Patrick Beilein about what it's like to guide a program his father, John, once led for nine seasons and Patrick's emotions before he coaches against his father in Friday's Michigan-Le Moyne exhibition.

It’s a moment decades in the making, and Patrick Beilein has set aside some time to make sure he appreciates all it will signify.

Friday night, Beilein will greet familiar stadium ushers, step onto a familiar court and shake a familiar man’s hand. He’ll hear some familiar cheers and see some familiar faces, and then he’ll coach basketball, a familiar game.
