Beilein vs. Beilein: Coach exhibits dad’s influence

Michigan coach John Beilein discusses facing his son, Patrick Beilein, and Le Moyne on Friday in exhibition; Video by Mark Snyder, DFP.

The feeling crept up slowly on Patrick Beilein.

When he was in high school, he began to realize his father’s juggling act.

Every morning John Beilein would wake up early and hole up in the living room, breaking down a few hours of practice and game film.

Then his children would make their way to the breakfast table.

“As soon as we would come down, he would make us Egg McMuffins — his famous Egg McMuffins,” Patrick said.
