John Beilein, Patrick Beilein both step down 5 months apart

Around a year ago Patrick Beilein left LeMoyne to join Niagara as its head basketball coach. It was a similar path that his father, John Beilein, took when he was rising through the ranks.

Everything was going according to plan until it wasn’t.

Seven months into his tenure, Patrick abruptly stepped down from his position citing “personal reasons.”

In an official statement released by the University, Patrick did not delve into the specifics for his departure:

“Personal reasons I can no longer take lightly have led me to step away from my dream job.
