ALL THEY DO IS SHOOT 3S!!!!

FIRE BEILIEIN!

He's old too.

4/13/2006 1:21:16 PM

I'd would be happy if we got Beilein, but since his offense is similar to Herbs (i.e. modified princeton, tons of 3s), I'm sure the herb haters would come out in full force.

4/13/2006 2:09:48 PM

Beilein and Thompson III are most likely the last coaches on our list just becuase of that reason.

4/13/2006 2:17:12 PM

bttt

whoops, didnt search cause i didnt know how to spell his name before...feel free to lock or delete my thread i just made

4/25/2006 11:58:00 AM

I'm pro-Beilein.

4/25/2006 12:01:14 PM

FIRE BEELINE!

4/25/2006 12:05:12 PM

HE EATS PIZZA

4/25/2006 12:05:49 PM

4/25/2006 3:17:16 PM

I can't understand why you like him. Hes absolutly a reincarnate of Herb Sendek. The reason 90% of the nc state fanbase hated herb was that he ran a boring offense. Beilein runs the same offense and shoots 400 threes a game.

"Beilein, who is under contract at West Virginia through the 2011-2012 season,is believed to have moved ahead of former UCLA coach Steve Lavin, now an ESPN analyst. Beilein has a $3 million buyout provision in his contract, but that is not believed to be a deal-breaker. "

I said Beilein was the best canidate since day one

funny how the guy that does this for a living agrees with me

4/25/2006 9:19:50 PM

I see nowhere in that quote where it is stated that Beilein is the best candidate. It only assumes that he has moved ahead of Lavin but that does not imply he is the best candidate for the job.

"Beilein behind West Virginia's amazing start Dick Vitale SPECIAL TO ESPN.COM Jan. 5, 2005 When the topic is the big-time coaches in college basketball, familiar names and Hall of Famers often are mentioned: Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, Texas Tech's Robert Montgomery Knight, Temple's John Chaney, Arizona's Lute Olson, North Carolina's Roy Williams, Maryland's Gary Williams, UConn's Jim Calhoun, Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, Oklahoma State's Eddie Sutton ... and the list goes on and on. John Beilein Raise your hand if your squad's in the Sweet 16. Let me share the name of a guy who doesn't get much publicity, but he can flat-out C-O-A-C-H! Most of America doesn't know who he is, but if you ask his peers they'll tell you his teams are always prepared and solid fundamentally. They can play in every phase of the game. I'm talking about West Virginia's John Beilein (pronounced BEE-LINE). If he had equal talent to most, he'd get the "W" every time. His Mountaineers have sent shock waves through college basketball so far this season, going 10-0 for the first time since 1959-60, when a guy named Jerry West was lighting it up in Morgantown. Many college basketball insiders feel that Beilein is one of the masters on the sidelines. West Virginia entered this week as one of seven remaining unbeatens in college basketball. Beilein took over at West Virginia from Gale Catlett in April 2002. I'm not sure what the expectations were then, but the Mountaineers were picked to finish in the bottom tier of the Big East this season. Don't tell Beilein that! His team already has won at NC State and at LSU, to go with a home win against a ranked George Washington squad. That bodes well when the NCAA Tournament selection committee evaluates performance come March. This shouldn't come as a shock when you consider that in 26 previous seasons as a head coach, Beilein has enjoyed 23 winning seasons. The past two seasons, with mainly freshmen and sophomores, his teams have been extremely competitive in posting a 31-29 record. Then came this season's explosion. Beilein was so impressive in five seasons at Richmond, averaging 20 victories per campaign during his tenure. Now he's in the national spotlight in a tough conference. West Virginia gets it done in team fashion, demonstrating all the parts of the game that coaches talk about at clinics. Beilein is a teacher who takes great pride in making sure his players execute efficiently in their offensive sets. The right people shoot the basketball at the right time. You will hear the name Beilein often in the headlines, baby!"

bring Beilein and the 1-3-1 to Raleigh now.

are you guys seriously using a recriting video as the basis for saying beilein runs a different offense?

4/26/2006 2:24:48 PM

Find someone who will bring some excitement. Not a 60yr. old herb sendek.
We're gonna pay 3.5mil to get Herb back... wow, Lee Fowler is a dumbshit. At this point hire Haith or Whittenburg, why go out and find the ONE guy most like the coach that just left because half the fans couldnt stand his personality & offense.... AMAZING!

4/26/2006 2:30:38 PM

MODS, PLEASE CLOSE ONE OF THESE!

damn!

4/26/2006 2:34:38 PM

he is going to be our coach.

you can try and put as much of a negative spin on it as you want, and continue the ncsu fan trend that has made us so popular

or you can look at what he has done at wva in 3 years and be as excited as i am.


we cant have the offense carolina has, even though thats what you dumbasses want

4/26/2006 2:39:20 PM

Why would anyone be a dumbass for wanting an offense that you can get excited about watching?

4/26/2006 2:42:20 PM

some of us are actually basketball fans.

and get excited when our team plays good basketball.

instead of running up and down the court taking the first horrible shot that comes up.

4/26/2006 2:43:24 PM

Maybe I am one of the few, but for the WVU games I got a chance to watch, I don't remember Beilein's offense being boring.

4/26/2006 2:44:00 PM

how has anyone forgotten the 3 overtime win against Wake?


i for one am a fan of intelligent basketball, teams that play together, and players who graduate.


that is what it will take for us to be successful. we cant recruit the players carolina does, so how would we beat them with a simlar offense and lesser players?

this is the man for the job

4/26/2006 2:47:23 PM

^ Wrong. Herb Sendek couldn't recruit the players UNC recruits.... But we will get who we get.

4/26/2006 2:49:54 PM

herb is a very good recruiter.

this school, and our fans held him back

4/26/2006 3:07:15 PM

^ I agree, let's not forget he was named SI's top recruiter while at Kentucky and help to build that championship team before he left.

Belein's offense is a little more uptempo than Herb's, and they run the floor a little more (Although, with Grant and Cam we ran a little this year). I believe he also uses a true point guard instead of combo's.


Belein's offense, in my opinion, is a little more structured than Herb's and seems to be more consistent. The thing that got me with Herb is that in a lot of games our offense became the "Weave and Heave". I never really saw that in Belein's.
