Ann Arbor – Zak Irvin, Derrick Walton Jr. and Moritz Wagner have heard all the stories.
Throughout Michigan coach John Beilein’s 41-year career, there’s no shortage of tales to reference, from his days as a junior varsity coach at Newfane High in New York back in the late 1970s to his most recent Michigan teams.
But perhaps the one story that sticks out the most involves one of Beilein’s best teams ever – his 2005 West Virginia squad.
Led by senior Tyrone Sally and juniors Kevin Pittsnogle, Mike Gansey, Johannes Herber and Beilein’s son Patrick, the Mountaineers ranked third nationally in 3-point attempts (885) and fifth in made 3-pointers (319).
