They get better with age. NCAA basketball has been Pig Pen dirty for a long time and Michigan's recruiting has suffered because of it. Coach B doesn't cheat and his peers say he is not only clean but squeaky clean. If you're allowed to practice for 60 minutes, coach practices for 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
When you can't recruit the top talent you have to be able to find diamonds in the rough like Trey Burke, GR3 Tim Hardaway Jr., etc. It has worked out well for Coach B and his teams are usually considerable better in February then they were in March. Two years ago he also looked at his staff and himself and decided his strength was not coaching defense. He went out the last two years and hired the equivalent of a football defensive coordinator and Michigan's defense continues to improve because he understood his own weakness. Yes, Coach B has had some bad losses over the years and a few bad years, but he is the perfect coach for Michigan and we are lucky to have him.
Michigan's last 3 games of the year were going to be tough wins. OSU was a top 10 team and then on the road for Penn State and Maryland (both bubble teams). Michigan went 3-0 and blew out Maryland on Saturday. MAAR is playing so well right he now that he is making a run at becoming an NBA player.
Basketball season is so much better when Michigan is competitive and an NCAA team. They are the 5th seed in the Big Ten tournament and will play Thursday afternoon at MSG.

Here is Michigan's Spring Schedule:
The time for a the Spring Game is TBD.
- Ed Warinner hasn't been officially announced at the OL Coach but his twitter bio says he is.
- I wouldn't hold your breathe on Calvin Anderson heading to Ann Arbor now that Tim Drevno has resigned. Ed and Jimmy will have to convince him that Michigan is in a better place and Ed is a better OL coach now.
- Drake Harris will play his graduate year at Western Michigan.
