Big Ten coaches are vexed by spate of transfers

ROSEMONT, Ill. – Michigan basketball coach John Beilein is stuck in the middle of a transfer storm.

Beilein lost four players this off-season — including one, grad transfer Spike Albrecht, to conference foe Purdue — and was called out after imposing transfer restrictions on Albrecht and Ricky Doyle.

He shared his opinions on transfers with his colleagues at the Big Ten basketball coaches meetings last week.

“We all feel very strongly that there’s issues with the transfers and we’re all trying to find (a solution),” he said Tuesday at the Big Ten conference offices.
