John Beilein bid farewell to Michigan last week after 12 seasons guiding the men's basketball program in Ann Arbor.
Even Buckeye fans – honest, intelligent ones at least – recognize what a great coach Beilein was for Michigan, rescuing the the Wolverines from the Ed Martin scandal followed by 10 years of mediocrity as Brian Ellerbe and Tommy Amaker failed to right the ship.
Beilein not only brought Michigan basketball back to national prominence – becoming the school's all-time winningest coach along the way – but did so in a clean, professional way.
Sound familiar? It should.
