INDIANAPOLIS – There was no way to ask the obvious question that would not be a least a bit indelicate, especially with Kameron Chatman still in the process of departing the room and the entire exchange amplified through a speaker system.
Me: Please don’t take this the way it sounds, but what was he doing in the game?
John Beilein: Laughs.
Beilein answered eventually, but he chuckled first. Michigan’s head coach knew how against-all-odds Chatman’s game-winning, buzzer-beating 3-pointer had been. A 6-8 forward from Portland, Ore., once rated a 5-star recruit, Chatman has had a disappointing career through two seasons.
