Watching the Michigan-Wisky game and one of the announcers just said he is the best coach in college hoops because he's doing it without 5-star recruits.

My question to t Hoop: Is John Beilein the best coach in the college game today?

Nope. The best coaches in college hoops are in the women's game - at UConn & Notre Dame.

No, Harbaugh is. But Beilein is obviously second.

He's had 5 star recruits.

Villanova and Virginia recruit at a similar level to UM and they've had similar success.

I think you have to go with Wright at the moment.

But you could definitely make an argument for Beilein and Bennett.

Well, the point they were making (maybe I didn't articulate it well) is that he doesn't get the athletes UNC, Duke, Kansas, and others get.

Yes, that's true.

Is not recruiting part and parcel of being a great coach?

How many Titles does Beilein have now? And how many do the coaches of UNC, Duke, and Kansas have combined? There's your answer.

Not sure about the best coach in the country, he's up there. Probably the best in the B1G.

With the talent they get they should win it every year. Coach K is just a figure head now.

He's seriously had like two since he's been at UofM. And even that, they're borderline 4 depending on the publication.

And Saban should win the Championship in football every year too, right?

K does have the most titles amongst active coaches, and most wins ever by a college coach. He might know what he's doing in the coaching gig he has after all.

Beilein is really freaking good. I wouldn't put him at #1 though.

K, Williams, Wright, Self and Cal, I'd put ahead of him for sure.

When Beilein was hired by UM he was strictly a set offense, screen the ball, PnR coach so anyone could be successful in his system. I thought Mcgary and Robinson were five stars.

He better make the tournament this year, or he'll be on the hot seat next year. And that's with losing Langford and Morgan after this year.
