I think Bill Martin should be held accountable & fired. Les Miles wanted to come here ... all Martin had to do was pick up the phone & express an interest in Miles. Once again, Michigan is not aggressive ... on or off the field.

Well, what do people think of how Bill Martin has handled this?

I think that Amacker wanted to leave Michigan anyway. He wasn't being paid much. The prestige of the Michigan basketball program isn't enough to keep coaches around. That works for football, not basketball. Something I bet you all didn't know is that the University of Michigan has some of the worst facilities in the Big Ten. Sure, Christler Arena is a little old, but it's still nice. However, there's not even any Tivo for the coaches to go get tape of the other team. If they want tape of an opponent, the U of M has to order it ahead of time. Overall, I think that it was a good thing that Amacker is gone. He was a good rebound coach, and had a few years to make the NCAA Tournament. Now the Wolverines need to get a better coach who can hopefully get them into the Big Dance.

From what I've read/heard, there seem to be two schools of thought:

1) Beilein is a god and will save us all

2) Beilein runs the completely wrong offense for Manny Harris and Alex Legion and those two are going to run far, far away as soon as possible, leaving us back at square two again.

Me? All I have to say is:

WEST VIRGINA!

I love the fact that he cleaned up the program, but he just hasn't been able to get this team to take the next step.

This just goes to show that you have to make the NCAA tourney to keep your job at a major program like Michigan. Tommy seemed like a great guy but that's not what they pay you for.
