Glad Beilein stayed

Every little while we will hear of a college coach who is considering going to the NBA. There are some differences in the two jobs, of course. One of the big ones is that there is no recruiting in college, and that is generally the part of college basketball that many (most?) coaches like least.

Michigan's John Beilein just interviewed with the Detroit Pistons, but reportedly decided to stay at Michigan. That is a huge plus for college basketball, because Beilein seems to be one of the good ones. Not only is he a good coach, but he does it the right way. At least that is the opinion of his fellow coaches. Beilein stayed home, and the college game was a big winner. (On the other hand, I could name a few coaches that I would dearly love to see go pro.)
