There has been a ridiculous infusion of talent into the Big Ten coaching ranks this year. The already competitive conference is going to get crazy over the next couple years.
OSU: Mata
MSU: Izzo
Minnesota: Tubby Smith
Iowa: Lickliter
Michigan: Beiline
Indianda: Sampson
Wisconsin: Bo Ryan
Illinois: Bruce Weber
Purdue: Matt Painter
Penn State and Northwestern still suck.

Big Ten Coaches...
Those who stay will be champions.
Carmody at NW is a damn good coach, he's just severly handcuffed by being at a place like NW in a conference like the B10.
As I commented in the other thread, the Big 10 is now the best coaches conference in the country. With the recruiting already getting back to elite level (4 of the top 9 classes for next year) it's only a matter of time before the Big 10 regains their place atop the college hoops landscape.

"Our staff is going to ensure that anyone who attends this University and wears the Indiana uniform will make this privilege among their highest priorities and not treat the opportunity as an entitlement,'' Crean said in a statement. "We fully expect our student-athletes to accept the responsibilities academically, athletically and socially that come with representing one of the top programs in college basketball history."

pretty impressive. not sure i'd put Painter in that first group yet. but all good hires so far: Tubby, Licklighter, Beilein (who i like a lot as a coach)....and pretty efficient.

I didn't know that Beilein had taken the Michigan job until BlindRef posted this and I checked some sites.
From a Big East perspective, I'm sorry to see him leave the conference. From a ND perspective, this might actually help my team, as West Virginia could be about to come back to earth.

I certainly agree with you about WVU potentially taking a step back. I believe the head coach at Eastern Kentucky is an old assistant to Beilein, so he might step to the top of the candidate pool if the rumors are true that Beilein is indeed going to Michigan.

from my favorite blog:
mgoblog.blogspot.comBeilein Official
You may have noticed this website is closely tracking the words out of a particular West Virginia scout board and the statements of a couple of insiders who proved their mettle in the recent Rich Rodriguez chaos. One of these insiders, EERhole, has just posted this:
West Virginia University has formally begun the search for a new basketball coach. Beilein has accepted Michigan's offer. I see no need in posting further details. The writing has been on the wall for a year.
Internet rumors? Perhaps. But given the oracular respect given EERhole based on his blow-by-blow accounts of the Rodriguez thing -- during which he was an outpost of positive news during a mass-media reported Alabama departure -- at the board, I think it's exceedingly likely that he is for real and that this is also. It's tough to reassemble the wavepattern months after the fact, but to have built that sort of trust he would have had to be on the inside during a time in which anyone faking it would have been swinging the other way. He's got the goods. IMO this is 95% of official and worth reporting as such.
I'm off to break down the NIT championship game.
UPDATE: Dude, that post totally went Keyser Soze on me: poof, like that it's gone. I was fortunate enough to still have it up and have archived it for posterity if anyone would like to see the original. I don't know if it was the site mods, who are liable to bring the hammer down when something like that leaks, or a voluntary withdrawal from EERhole. I do know that the other guy they rely on for information has added a couple notes:
Don't think the final salary offer from UM really matters so long as the buyout is taken care of... what I've been saying for a while. Sad really. Hope it changes.
And then what seems like an equivalent of the Soze post:
It's officially unofficial...
It is unofficial that it is official.
Whichever you prefer but I would with door #2 at this point.
I still think the announcement is almost certainly a formality at this point but you have all the information and can judge for yourself.
UPDATE II: EERhole popped up in another thread which came from a guy with one post purporting to have some inside info from the governor. The original guy said "Beilein rumor FWIW"; EER replied "not a rumor," so we can safely say that it was the site mods doing the nuking and so we're back to where we were before Keyser Soze. This concludes your skullduggery for the evening.
UPDATE III: Michigan boards lighting up with separate confirmation. We've got our guy. (Note link is to the premium Rivals board, where non-subscribers can read headers but not content. I think given the context the content is obvious.)
UPDATE IV: CBS Sportsline has it; Fox Sports has it.
Those who stay will be champions.

Sweet!!
I was hoping for Kruger (a bit more exerience) but in reading up on Beilein I found nothing but raves about him.
Now can he get Legion to re-up.

i'm totally excited we got a guy who's proven he can win the nit championship. i've already booked a flight to nyc for late march 2008.
i'm actually happy we got a guy who can coach his way into victory. michigan doesn't get elite talent, but they should pull more arse than wvu, and if dooder can get those guys to the elite 8, well shite, we'll be winning national championships by last year. but for the reals, was there ever a time amaker maneuvered his way into a win through wily coaching tactics? no. and thank god i'll never have to see a 3/4 turtle neck paired with a sport coat. i'm not into fashion, but i'm also not into my coach looking the douche if he can't win.
