Watching the Illinois/Michigan basketball game (currently 80-48 Illinois), has me wondering who the next b-ball coach for America's Basketball Team will be? Beilein appears available.

Pipe dream: Jay Wright.

I don't think Jay Wright would take the job I think he is enjoying retirement. I wouldn't mind Beilein returning as Michigan's head coach once again if he wants the job maybe he'll get a say on the next hire.

Holtmann canned at tOSU. Speculation is Paris from South Carolina.

You have to kick the tires on Dan Hurley.

You honestly think he'd leave UConn, the #1 team in the country, where basketball is everything, making 6M a year, to go to Michigan?

Michigan > UConn.

Not in basketball… no way. Michigan isn’t on anybody’s radar as a destination basketball anything.

You into your 4th or 5th IPA? Basketball is everything at UConn. Their women's team has 5 times the support as UM men's basketball. Hurley is building a monster there. Why would he go to a program who is probably #18 in a soon-to-be 18 team conference?
Michigan should try and steal Collins from Northwestern, but I doubt he'd go either.
Meanwhile, in his first game, OSU's interim coach outcoaches Matt Painter and upsets Purdue.

Hearing from a friend (bookie) who says Otzelberger at ISU might be talking to Michigan.

Seems like a reasonable approach, which is why I doubt the veracity. This would require Warde to do some work. Warde is only doing that if his hand is being forced.

One person advocating for John Beilein to return:

Belein is now 71 and hasn't coached in 4 years. The last time he coached in college the NIL and transfer portal weren't really a thing.
I'm not sure there is enough money to entice him back.
