There are certain head coaches affiliated with the Big Ten that require all ears when they speak. John Beilein is certainly in that conversation.
Beilein was head coach of Michigan for 12 years. During his tenure, the Wolverines won the Big Ten regular season title twice, won back-to-back conference tournament titles from 2016-2018, appeared in two National Championship games, and qualified for the tournament nine times. He finished with a record of 278-150 and is arguably the best head coach in the history of Michigan basketball.
