Say it ain’t so!  John Beilein interviewed for the Detroit Pistons’ head coaching position.  SU always wondered if he would be tempted to try his hand at the NBA.  He is a teacher, generally improves the performance of his players while they are there and is nearing the end of his professional career.  Why not give it a go?

SU says he should stay put at Michigan.  NBA players are out for themselves and will not pay attention to being taught.  It’s a stars’ league and even though Detroit doesn’t have that type of player today, the higher paid players will see themselves as being at that level.  And they won’t pay attention and won’t buy into the team first concept.

Beilein is perfect for the college game.  Why roll the dice and get fired in your 2nd year with 25 wins?  Brad Stevens made the move but it’s rare that the college coaches are successful at the NBA level.

Having said that, SU still believes that Urban Meyer should give it a shot in the NFL.
