CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia University men's basketball coach John Beilein has been offered the head coach's job at the University of Michigan, two Detroit newspapers are reporting.
The reports come just days after Beilein coached the Mountaineers to their first National Invitation Tournament championship in 65 years with a 78-73 win over Clemson.

It's Beilein, and he's a heck of a coach. Great hire IMO.

Damn the B10 is stacked with great coaches. UM just brought in Beilein, Minnesota got Tubby, and Iowa landed Lickliter. B10 has some seriously good BBall coaches in the house.

Re: Beilein made about $750,000 per season with West Virginia and will, according to sources, make in excess of $1 million at Michigan.

Not much of a raise in salary considering what some other coaches are getting.

I also think that they had better facilities in West Virginia but I guess scum A. D. told him that they will upgrade in AA.

Would Beilein leave West Virgina?

Beilein signs with Michigan.
It was planned to be a meeting where John Beilein told his West Virginia players how to prepare for offseason workouts. Instead, he told them goodbye.
Beilein, who took the Mountaineers from mediocrity to two NCAA Tournaments and an NIT championship, is moving on to Michigan........

Boy. Mountaineer fan falls asleep with Ugly Betty and wakes up with Pamela Anderson. What a great set of moves for WVU; what a continuing trudge to mediocrity for the University of Michigan.

As a Buckeye fan, I am :tongue2: .

How so, might I ask? It's obvious Beilein is an upgrade - he did far more this season, in a tougher conference, with less talent, than Amaker ever did.

Scorn the Beilein hiring at your own peril. He's been successful with every team he's coached. We're a long way from Brian Ellerbe here.
