ANN ARBOR -- John Beilein's coaching staff for the 2017-18 season has been finalized.
And if you've been paying attention, it comes as no surprise.
Michigan on Friday announced the hires of assistant coaches Luke Yaklich and DeAndre Haynes, both of whom come to Ann Arbor from Illinois State University.
In a release, Beilein thanked ISU head coach Dan Muller "for his professionalism" during the search. Turns out, it was Muller who initiated discussion.
