<p>John Beilein is Michigan's new BBall head coach. He is a very solid coach who is known to do more with less. Working most of his career with sub-standard talent, he has managed to take his teams far. Let us see what he can do over the next 3-4 seasons.</p>
<p>Hopefully we can actually make it to the tournament next year.</p>
<p>Hopefully a giant meteor will strike Crisler arena in the middle of the night and flatten the entire structure in one fell swoop.</p>
<p>LOL! I used to wish the same thing would happen to the LSA building! Of course, it that meteor should strike after midnight, when the building is empty. Seriously, are there any plans to renovate Crisler? It needs a lot of serious work.</p>
<p>No idea what the plans are, but everyone knows it needs re-doing. My husband wrote a report about it when he was in architecture school 20 years ago.</p>
<p>Incidentally, they have recently renovated LS&A. Still ugly outside, but nice inside.</p>
<p>They're taking Frieze down bit by messy bit. I'd say they're close to half done.</p>
<p>I've heard the Crisler is slated to be worked on in 2010, although I'm not sure if it's just a renovation. The fact a Big 10 basketball program uses that as their home arena (AND PRACTICE FLOOR) is really a reason why UM hasn't kept up with OSU, MSU, Illinois, etc.</p>
