Considered to be one of the best tactical basketball minds in the country, U-M's David and Meredith Kaplan Men's Basketball Head Coach John Beilein has continued to be an innovator in college basketball during his four decades patrolling the sidelines.

Beilein has compiled a career record of 799-461 (.628) during his 41 years as a collegiate head coach. He has recorded 20-plus win seasons on 22 occasions and has finished with a winning record in 34 seasons, placing him in the top 10 for career victories among active Division I head coaches.

Beilein has 19 career postseason appearances -- 12 in the NCAA Division I Tournament, six in the NIT and one in the NCAA Division II Tournament. With the seven trips to the Big Dance with U-M, Beilein is one of 14 coaches to have taken four different schools to the NCAA Tournament -- Canisius (1996), Richmond (1998), West Virginia (2005, '06) and Michigan (2009, '11, '12, '13, '14, '16, '17, '18).

In 11 seasons in Ann Arbor, Beilein has built the Wolverines into one of the nation's elite programs, taking U-M to a pair of national championship game appearances (2013, '18) while also becoming the winningest coach in school history.

Under Beilein, the Maize and Blue have made eight NCAA Tournament appearances while also winning two Big Ten regular season and two Big Ten Tournament titles. Michigan earned a share of the 2012 Big Ten regular-season title with a 13-5 record -- the first for the program since 1986. The Wolverines just missed getting a share of the 2013 conference title after a last second loss in the regular season finale. However, U-M won the program's first outright Big Ten crown in 28 years in 2014 with a 15-3 record, winning the league by three games.

In 2017, seeded eighth at the Big Ten Tournament, U-M found itself in the headlines before the tournament began after its plane ran off the runway and crashed, forcing the Wolverines to make the trip to Washington, D.C. on the morning of their conference tournament opener. Showing no ill effects from the travel, U-M easily dispatched No. 9 seed Illinois and used that momentum to win four games in four days, taking down No. 1 seed Purdue, No. 4 seed Minnesota and No. 2 seed Wisconsin along the way in becoming the lowest seed ever to win the Big Ten Tournament.

The following season Beilein's Wolverines set a new school record with 33 wins, which included repeating as Big Ten Tournament champions, once again winning four games in four days to take the title at Madison Square Garden. After opening the tournament with an overtime win over No. 12 seed Iowa, the Wolverines downed No. 4 Nebraska, No. 1 Michigan State and No. 2 Purdue to claim the conference crown.
