Beilein, who was hired away from West Virginia in 2007, led Michigan to the national championship game and a school record-tying 31 wins last season. The Wolverines hadn't made the NCAA Tournament in 11 years before Beilein brought them back in 2009.
A native of Burt, N.Y., Beilein is the only active collegiate coach to have achieved at least one 20-win season at four different levels: junior college, NAIA, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division I. He has taken all four Division I teams he’s coached to the NCAA Tournament, and owns a career record of 673-403.
Beilein, who replaced current Harvard coach Tommy Amaker, became the highest-paid basketball coach in Michigan history when he signed a six-year deal worth $1.3 million a season back in 2007.
