John Beilein

John Beilein (pronounced bee-line; born February 5, 1953 in Burt, Niagara County, New York) is the men's basketball head coach at the University of Michigan. He is the 16th head coach of the Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team. The 2008-09 season is the second year of a six year contract.[1] Beilein has won 486 career games (including games that were not at the Division I level)

Beilein is the only active collegiate coach to achieved 20-win seasons at four different levels — junior college, NAIA, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division I.[2] Beilein has been recognized as coach of the year numerous times (Erie Community College (1981), LeMoyne (1988), Canisius (1994), and Richmond (1998)).[3]

Early coaching career

Born in Niagara County's Burt, New York, Beilein spent much of his early basketball career in Western New York. He went to high school at DeSales High School in Template:City-state.[2] Beilein attended Wheeling College (now Wheeling Jesuit University) were he competed on the school's basketball team from 1971–1975 and served as team captain during the 1974–1975 season. He with a bachelor of arts degree in history in 1975.[2] After graduating returned to Western New York where he began his coaching career, at Newfane High School in Newfane, New York in 1975, and he remained there for three years.[2] He went on to earn a Master of Science degree in education from Niagara University in 1981, which was located in Lewiston, New York.[2]

Throughout his coaching career, Beilein has always held head coaching positions, never as an assistant. Beilein served as the coach of Erie Community College from 1978 to 1982, Division III Western New York's Nazareth College in Rochester, New York for the 1982–1983 school year,[4] and Le Moyne College from 1983 to 1992. Le Moyne was a Division II contestant in the Mideast Collegiate Conference (MCC).[5] Beilein first applied to coach Division I basketball at Canisius in 1987.[6] During his time at Le Moyne, he held annual coaching clinics that welcomed coaches and athletes.[7] Beilein was named the 1988 MCC Coach of the Year, when his team finished as Co-League Champions with a 21–5 regular season record and number 14 national ranking.[8] The team tied with Gannon University with an 8–2 conference record.[9] Although it was Beilein's third 20-win team at Le Moyne, they had never gone to the NCAA tournament before.[10] The team captured the conference post-season tournament after receiving a first round bye.[11] As the number three seed, they faced the number one seeded California University of Pennsylvania in the NCAA Division II Eastern Regionals.[12] They lost their first round game to fall to a 23–6 record,[13] but won the consolation game against Kutztown University of Pennsylvania.

The MCC disbanded following the 1990–1991 season.[14] In Beilein's final season at Le Moyne, the team was an independent team unaffiliated with a conference. The team was scheduled to join the New England Collegiate Conference for the 1992–1993 season.[15] After his first application for the job at Canisius, Beilein had tried to land other Division I jobs at schools such as Colgate University, where he had been a finalist.[4]

Coaching career at NCAA Division I level

Canisius

During the 1991–92 season Canisius compiled an 8–22 record.[16] In 1992, Beilein arrived at Western New York's Canisius College, which was also the first position in which he hired assistant coaches.[17]. He had grown up a Canisius basketball fan because his uncle, Joe Niland, was a former Canisius player and coach.[4] At Canisius - his first NCAA Division I coaching position - Beilein reached the NCAA tournament once and the National Invitation Tournament twice in his five seasons.

In his first two seasons at Canisius, he turned a last place team into a team that recorded the first undefeated home schedule (15–0) in the schools modern era.[18] The team entered the MAAC Men's Basketball Tournament with a 15 game winning streak,[19] and Beilein earned Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Coach of the Year.[20] The number one seeded team lost in the second round semi-final contest against Loyola University and thus failed to make the 1994 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.[21] The conference earned three National Invitation Tournament invitations,[22] and Canisius was matched up against the much taller, more experienced Big East Conference Villanova Wildcats men's basketball team.[23] Sophomore Kerry Kittles let the eventual 1994 National Invitation Tournament Champion Villanova Wildcats men's basketball team in a 103–79 victory over Canisius in the first round with a thirty-four point performance.[24][25][26]

The 1994–95 Golden Griffins were led by the team's first ever MAAC player of the year, Senior Craig Wise. In the first round of the MAAC conference tournament a pair of future Michigan Wolverines coaches opposed each other when Canisius met Loyola and head coach Brian Ellerbe.[27] Canisius won and reached the MAAC conference semi-final for the fifth time in six years.[28] The team lost in the semis for the third straight season,[29] and it continued to have never won the conference tournament.[28] Canisius earned the team's first post-season victory in 32 years against the Seton Hall Pirates men's basketball team.[30] A pair of subsquent wins enabled Canisius to earn a trip to the Final Four of the 1995 National Invitation Tournament at Madison Square Garden.[31][32] Canisius lost in the semifinals against Virginia Tech by a 71–59 despite a school postseason record 32 points from Wise.[33] Canisius lost the consolation game against the Penn State Nittany Lions men's basketball team.[34] The three wins and two losses enabled Beilein to even up his NIT career record at 3–3.

The 1995–96 team also was led by a MAAC plyaer of the year, Darrell Barley.[35] Beilein led the 16–10 (7–7 MAAC) team to the conference tournament championship to earn a birth in the 1996 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament despite the absence of the injured Barley for the tournament.[36] Canisius earned a thirteen seed and matchup agaisnt the #number four Utah Utes in the team's first NCAA Tournament since 1957.[37] Despite the absence of Keith Van Horn due to illness, Utah defeated Canisius in the first round game by a 72–43 margin.[38][39]

In Beilein's final season of coaching Canisius, the team was the top defensive team in the MAAC.[40] The team's season ended in the conference tournament finals.[41] After the 1996–97 season, Beilein interviewed with the University of Richmond.[42]

Richmond

In 1997 he moved to the University of Richmond. There, he compiled a 100–53 record in five seasons, recording a winning record each season, and again reached the NCAA tournament once, where his 14th seeded team upset nationally ranked South Carolina. His teams also reached the he NIT Tournament twice.

In 1998, Beilein had his third different player named conference player of the year in six Division I seasons when Jarod Stevenson was named Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) player of the year. The team posted its first winning season since 1993.[43] The Richmond Spiders men's basketball team entered the CAA tournament as the third seed in the nine-team conference.[44] The team won the tournament, earning the school its first NCAA tournament birth since 1991.[45] Beilein won his fourth coach of the year award that season. This one was for the Richmond Times-Dispatch Virginia Coach of the Year. Beilein was selected for the award over Charlie Woollum of William and Mary who beat Beilein for the CAA coach of the year award.[3] During the 1998 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, Richmond, which was seeded 14th upset the South Carolina Gamecocks men's basketball team in the first round of the tournament.[46][47] The Spiders lost their second game in the tournament to the Washington Huskies men's basketball team.[48] Beilein's career NCAA tournament record was 1–2.

In 2001, Richmond finished the regular season with a 21–6 record and a CAA best 12–4 record to earn the CAA regular season championship. They also won ten of their final eleven games.[49] However, since the Spiders where changing their athletic affiliation from the CAA to the Atlantic 10 during the following season, they were ineligible for the CAA conference tournament.[50] Only one team from the CAA had ever earned an at large bid to the NCAA tournament.[51] The Spiders wound up playing in the 2001 National Invitation Tournament and defeating the West Virginia Mountaineers men's basketball team before losing to the Dayton Flyers men's basketball team.[52][53] With one win and one loss Beilein stayed at .500 with a 4–4 NIT record. At the end of the season, Beilein declined an offer to coach the Rutgers Scarlet Knights men's basketball team.[54]

In 2002, Richmond finished in second place of the West Division of the 12-team Atlantic 10 Conference to earn a first-round by in the 2002 Atlantic 10 Men's Basketball Tournament.[55] In the tournament Richmond, won its first two games to advance to the finals where it lost to the Xavier Musketeers men's basketball team.[56] During the 2002 National Invitation Tournament, they won their first round game against Wagner College,[57] who was coached by Dereck Whittenburg.[58] The second-round game was notable for having been delayed due to inclement flight conditions.[59] When the game was finally played Richmond defeated the Montana State Bobcats men's basketball team 63–48.[60] They subsequently defeated the Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball team before losing to the Syracuse Orange men's basketball team in the quarterfinals.[61][62] Now Beilein was 6–5 in the NIT tournament. At the end of the season the West Virginia Mountaineers men's basketball team had difficulty landing a coach. It was unsuccessful with both Bobby Huggins and Dan Dakich.[63]

WVU

In April 2002, Beilein accepted the head coaching position at [[West Virginia University West Virginia]].[54] At WVU he posted a 104–60 record over five seasons. In 2004–05, his team went 24–11 and reached the "Elite Eight" (fourth round) of the NCAA tournament. The following year, WVU went 22–11 and reached the "Sweet Sixteen" (third round). In 2006–07, Beilein's Mountaineers, despite losing about 80% of their scoring from the previous season, went 27–9 and won the NIT championship.

Prior to 2009, the Big East Men's Basketball Tournament only included the top 12 teams. In 2003, West Virginia qualified for the tournament in their final conference game of the season by beating [[Virginia Tech Hokies men's basketball Virginia Tech]] team to secure 6th place in the western division.[64] The team had improved from 8–20 to finish the regular season at 14–14 (5–11 Big East) under Beilein.[65] The team lost in the first round of the 2003 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament to the Providence Friars men's basketball team by a 73–50 margin to end their season.[66]

West Virginia qualified for the 2004 Big East Tournament as the number 10 seed.[67] The team lost its first round match against [[Notre Dame Fighting Irish men's basketball Notre Dame]] team by a 65–64 margin on a three point shot with 15 seconds remaining.[68][69] The team's 15–13 record earned it an invitation to the 2004 National Invitation Tournament. In the first round of the tournament, the team traveled to play a 22–8 Kent State Golden Flashes men's basketball team.[70] Despite early foul trouble the team won 65–54 to advance to the second round.[71][72] West Virginia defeated [[Rhode Island Rams men's basketball Rhode Island]] in the second game of the tournament by a 79–72 margin.[73] The season ended with a 74–53 loss to Rutgers in the following game.[74] Beilein's career record in the NIT tournament was 8–6 after this tournament.

Beilein's 18–9 2004–2005 team entered the 2005 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament as the eighth seed and as a team on the bubble for the [[2005 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament 2005 NCAA Tournament]].[75][76] The team won its opening-round game against number nine seed Providence 82–59,[77][78] its second-round game against number one seed Boston College 78–72,[79][80] and its third-round game against number four Villanova 78–72.[81][82] West Virginia lost the conference tournament finals to Syracuse 68–59,[83] but it earned a seven seed in the NCAA tournament against number ten seed Creighton Bluejays men's basketball of the Missouri Valley Conference.[84][85][86] The loss gave Beilein his fifth loss in as many games against his mentor Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim], who had helped him acquire each of his first three Division I coaching positions.[87] In the NCAA tournament, West Virginia beat Creighton 63–61 with a defensive stop and fast break dunk in the final five seconds.[88][89] West Virginia then defeated the number two seed Wake Forest Demon Deacons men's basketball team led by Chris Paul in double overtime 111–105.[90][91][92] In the Sweet Sixteen round, West Virginia defeated Bobby Knight's number six seeded Texas Tech Red Raiders men's basketball team 65–60.[93][94] In the elite eight round, they lost in overtime to Rick Pitino's number four seeded Louisville Cardinals men's basketball team who were led by Taquan Dean and Larry O'Bannon 93–85.[95][96] with the three wins Beilein raised his career NCAA record to 4–3.

In 2006, West Virginia won its first eight Big East conference games and entered the top ten in the 2005–06 national rankings in February.[97][98] It was the first time West Virginia had ranked in the top ten in the Coaches' Poll which had been created in 1993.[98] They were the final unbeaten team in conference play.[98] After the good start, the team lost four of its next five games to fall to 9–4 in conference play.[99][100] They won their next two games to clinch a first-round bye in the [[2006 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament 2006 Big East Tournament]].[101][102] With seemingly little to play for,[103] they lost their regular season finale to finish with a 20–9 (11–5 Big East) regular season record.[104] West Virginia lost its quarterfinal round game in the conference tournament to the Pittsburgh Panthers men's basketball team,[105][106] and it earned a number six seed in the 2006 NCAA Tournament.[107][108] West Virginia won its opening weekend games against number eleven seed Southern Illinois team and the number fourteen seed Northwestern State Demons basketball team by 64–46 and 67–54 margins, respectively.[109][110][111] The team then West Virginia lost in the Sweet Sixteen round to the number two seed Texas Longhorns men's basketball team in a wild finish that saw West Virginia erase a five point deficit in the final fourteen seconds only to lose the game on a buzzerbeater.[112][113][114] The two wins helped Beilein raise his NCAA tournament record to 6–4.

The 2006–2007 team finished the regular season with a 21–8 (9–7 Big East) record to earn the number seven seed in the 2007 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament. In the first round of the tournament, they defeated the number ten seed Providence 92–79 making a Big East Tournament record 17 three point shots.[115][116] They lost to the number two seed Louisville Cardinals team 82–71 in double overtime.[117][118] Their 22–9 record earned them a number one seed in the 32-team 2007 National Invitation Tournament.[119][120] As the number one seed West Virginia was able to play its first three games at home where it defeated the Deleware State Hornets 74–50,[121][122] UMass team 90–77,[123] and the North Carolina State Wolfpack men's basketball team 71–60.[124][125] Before West Virginia started play in the semifinals in New York rumors started that Beilein would take the Michigan job after the season ended.[126] In the semifinal contest against the Mississippi State Bulldogs men's basketball team, they won 63–62 on a clutch shot by Darris Nichols after recovering from a 14-point second-half deficit.[127][128] On the eve of the championship game, Beilein was announced as one of three finalists (along with Kevin Stallings and Chris Lowery) for the Michigan Wolverines head coaching job.[129] In the championship game they defeated the Clemson Tigers men's basketball team 78–73.[130][131] The five wins raised Beilein's NIT career record to 13–6.

Michigan

Beilein in the huddle with Manny Harris looking over his shoulder (2009-01-04)

On April 3, 2007 the University of Michigan announced that it had hired Beilein to coach its men's basketball team. He replaced Tommy Amaker, who was fired after failing to reach the NCAA Tournament in his six seasons. Beilein inherited a team that was in the final year of a scholarship reduction due to the University of Michigan basketball scandal.

During Beilein's second season as Michigan coach, the team enjoyed several important victories. On November 20, 2008, the unranked Wolverines team upset the #4 ranked UCLA Bruins men's basketball team for its first win over a top-five team in eleven years.[132][133] On December 6, 2008 Michigan posted its second consecutive win over a top 5 opponent in a rematch against the #4 ranked Duke Blue Devils men's basketball team.[134][135][136] As a result of the major victories and continuing team success they reached the top 25 in the national rankings for the first time since 2006.[137] On February 26, 2009, Michigan defeated the #16-ranked Purdue Boilermakers men's basketball team 87–78, raising its record to 3–4 against ranked opponents on the season.[138]

Coaching style

Beilein signals the play from the sideline. (2009-01-04)

Beilein is known for his offense which emphasizes constant motion, passing, back-door cuts, disciplined teamwork, and precision shooting. The offense usually starts out with four players outside the three-point arc with one player at the top of the key. In addition to working this formation to try to open up space for players to cut to the basket, West Virginia as well as his current Michigan squad are known for their high amount of three-point shots. He is one of the best zone defensive coaches in college basketball, often employing the rare 1-3-1 zone defense.

Personal life

Beilein is married to Kathleen Beilein. As of his April 3, 2007 hiring they had been married 29 years.[2] The Beileins live in Ann Arbor and attend a Catholic Church in town regularly.

They have three sons (Patrick, who played for his father at WVU; Mark, a former football player at Richmond and WVU grad;[139][140] and Andy, who is enrolled at the University of Michigan) and a daughter (Seana Hendricks). Patrick, who was the 2002 Virginia Independent Schools Division I Player of the Year, had intended to play at Richmond with his father and went to West Virginia to play for his father.[141][142] Patrick is a 2008-2009 season graduate assistant coach at University of Michigan.[143][144]

When Patrick was a highly recruited high school basketball player, John was restricted by NCAA rules from some normal behaviors regarding his son, such as giving his son's teammates a ride home from practice, talking with his son at a basketball camp or discussing his son's abilities with news media, because college coaches are restricted in the interactions they are allowed with recruits.[145] The relevant NCAA rules for recruiting (Bylaw article 13) are quite extensive.[146] Beilein had to follow recruiting rules when visiting his son at a basketball camp.[145] According to rule 13.12.1.3 coaches wishing to attend a camp as observers must comply with appropriate recruiting contact and evaluation periods.[146] According to 13.02.3, a contact includes any face-to-face encounter between a prospective student-athlete . . . and an institutional staff member or athletics representative during which any dialogue occurs in excess of an exchange of a greeting.[146] In short, there is no talking to coaches not employed by a camp allowed during a camp, which left Beilein unable to offer his son milk money if he came to visit his son's basketball camp.[145]
