According to multiple reports, Ed Cooley is expected to interview for the head coaching position at Michigan. Former Michigan head man John Beilein was named coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers last week, leading to an opening at this late juncture.
Cooley, of course, has been at the heart of the Friar basketball revival. He took over a struggling program in 2011 and changed the culture both on and off the court. Three years into his tenure, Cooley won the school’s second ever Big East Tournament title, and has reached five NCAA Tournaments and two Big East title games.
