David PivnickGUEST
Uh, and that's not just the football scandal, but, uh, issues with the hockey program.
David PivnickGUEST
There's obviously been issues with the basketball program dating back at least to when John Beilein was the coach.
David PivnickGUEST
He had a controversial tenure.
David PivnickGUEST
Uh, this weekend we learned that despite being truly a preeminent academic institution, one of the best, uh, public schools in the country, one of the best schools in the country, they apparently don't know how to count and struggle with just counting backwards from eight to zero.
OwenHOST
Oh my God, the Cavaliers, that's a whole nother mess.
OwenHOST
Do you remember uh, J- John Ba- John Behard or whatever? John Beilein w- was who they hired at, at this point.
OwenHOST
I don't, do you remember this?
FongHOST
I don't recall, to be honest.
OwenHOST
Uh, so it was like this old white guy that they hired.
OwenHOST
Look, I don't know, I don't, I'm not familiar with who John Beilein is, but is a college coach, which means he's used to yelling at his players and doing things a certain way, right? And boy, the players did not like that shit at all.
OwenHOST
Tristan Thompson literally screamed at him [laughs] like i- in a, in a timeout.
OwenHOST
There was, there is a really funny clip where he tells l- uh, it's the end of, it's the end of the second quarter and he tells Kevin Love to run a play, and Kevin Love is just really angry at him for some reason.

He also gained valuable experience leading his own program as the head coach at Notre Dame College.
speaker_2NARRATOR
In this episode, we discuss the lasting lessons he learned from working under coaching legends in John Beilein and Bob Huggins, the responsibilities of a head coach that many assistants don't fully appreciate until they're in the role, and how his time as a head coach has made him a more effective assistant today.
Doug CaputoHOST
Coaches, everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Rising Coaches Podcast.
Doug CaputoHOST
Alan and Doug here, joined alongside Assistant Coach at YSU, special place in the heart, right? Youngstown State University, ladies and gentlemen, Coach Mark Richmond.
9 MINS LATER
Doug CaputoHOST
He, in, in his beginning year, that's why I was kinda saying before when he was at West Virginia, we kinda jumped right into your head coaching stint, but we didn't even talk about your student assistant, your practice player manager time at WVU.
Mark RichmondGUEST
Yeah.
Doug CaputoHOST
He had a guy who he'd recently dropped, John Beilein, Coach Bobby Huggins.
Doug CaputoHOST
My, my guy's had some legendary people around him.
Eric KonkolGUEST
When you recruit competitive guys, they enjoy those types of measures.
Eric KonkolGUEST
But many years ago, got this from John Beilein, is just the five-minute threes drill.
Eric KonkolGUEST
Just line them up, one rebounder, one shooter, and shoot as many as you can.
Eric KonkolGUEST
And if you can get over 50 consistently, you've got the green light to shoot open threes.
Danny CunninghamGUEST
He's capable of doing it certainly, um, but I think there's pressure on all three of those guys.
Josh LloydHOST
Maybe they can bring back John Beilein if, uh, things don't go well for Kenny Atkinson.
Danny CunninghamGUEST
[laughs]
Josh LloydHOST
They do.
Danny CunninghamHOST
He's capable of doing it certainly, um, but I think there's pressure on all three of those guys.
Josh LloydGUEST
Maybe they can bring back John Beilein if, uh, things don't go well for Kenny Atkinson.
Danny CunninghamHOST
[laughs]
Josh LloydGUEST
They do.
Danny CunninghamHOST
Now, the Cavs were not in need of a culture reset.
Danny CunninghamHOST
Like, I think JB Bickerstaff did a phenomenal job resetting Cleveland's culture when he took over the Cavs from John Beilein, and I think JB deserves a ton of credit for the Cavs being who they are today.
Danny CunninghamHOST
But the Cavs needed to learn how to win a little bit.
Danny CunninghamHOST
They knew how to be good, but they didn't know how to win, and Max Strus knows how to win.
Chris BalasHOST
He was the guy who was appointed and was going to start in May, and obviously, uh, is suffering now from brain cancer, and we hope he's doing well.
Chris BalasHOST
But I, I remember talking to John Beilein about him, and John Beilein, former Michigan coach, was at an event, and he said Kent Syverud came over, and he was talking about our teams and how much he loved watching them and Michigan sports.
Chris BalasHOST
And at the same time, he was so invested in, in the med school and in the academic side of things, too, and he had experience with this place.
Chris BalasHOST
So, uh, to me, that would've been the perfect choice.
Kevin CainHOST
I love the Mountaineers.
Kevin CainHOST
You know, John Beilein said something once, and it really put it into perspective, and it's gonna sound, it's gonna sound like I'm going back on everything that I just said.
Kevin CainHOST
John Beilein said, "Listen, only one team every season ends its season with a win."
David SpenceGUEST
Yeah.
David SpenceGUEST
Yeah.
Anthony BellinoHOST
Uh, we'll get more to... into, uh, Kader Montero and what happened there.
Anthony BellinoHOST
Michigan basketball legend, Hall of Fame upcoming, John Beilein, is gonna go work with the Orlando Magic.
Anthony BellinoHOST
How about that? He's joining the Magic staff as a consultant.
Anthony BellinoHOST
So the 73-year-old announced this on, uh, Twitter Monday, saying, quote, "I'm excited to be assisting Sean Sweeney and the Orlando Magic as a senior coaching consultant this upcoming NBA season.
