Yep—looks like the Wolverines have punched their ticket to San Antonio. Big Ten now has a representative—it’s a shame I hate them so much...

I can't believe we passed on him as our coach. Unreal.

And that little run has likely put Michigan in the Final Four...and the enemy of 99% of the country.

Or not. FSU brings it down to a 3 pt game and Michigan can't hit FT's.

Hindsight is 20/20. Beilein is awesome. None of you were spewing that crap when we hired Sampson.. so don't go there. 

I agree with you...somewhat. Were our fans screaming for Beilein in '06?  The one's who understood what he had done to resuscitate a stone dead UWV while maintaining a perfectly clean program might well have been. Most didn't understand. But those involved in the hiring decision did.  And instead opted for a guy who was under sanctions. And they knew that when they hired him. Nobody was screaming for Sampson either. The Administration wasn't somehow tied to him. They could have hired anyone. Their job was to get it right. If they didn't have the foresight to hire Beilein, fine, but it didn't require foresight to not hire a Coach who was dirty.

Literally no one in 06, 07, 08 were wanting Beilein. You can't go back 12 years later and want him. Just not how it works.

Beilein's name came up pretty regularly on IU boards when Davis replacements were discussed.

That's fine his name came up lol you all sound ridiculous whining about that now.

You can want him anytime you feel like it, it works.

And, there were likely as many people wanting beilein as there were people wanting Sampson or Crean. We made some dumb decisions

First you don't know that the job was "almost his". You want to believe that, I'm sure he was in our top 5-7. Literally none of this matters. Nothing is a sure thing.
