When John Beilein first left Michigan basketball for the Cleveland Cavaliers, everyone was saying that the Wolverines should aim high.
Michigan basketball did exactly that, going after Brad Stevens and Billy Donovan or at the very least, reaching out to them to see if there was any interest. According to Sam Webb of the Michigan Insider ($), there was no interest as both appear content to stay in the NBA.
Yet, Webb also reported in the same article that both candidates have offered their endorsements to Michigan. Stevens, who is close to Beilein, said that the Wolverines should go with former Beilein assistant and current Butler head coach LaVall Jordan.
