This is just ridiculous. Regardless if you agree with MattD or not, he is entitled to his opinion. I don’t always agree with him but he does make valid points just like anyone else. He is clearly one of the most active posters on here and certainly brings conversation. Just because you don’t agree with what he says, you don’t have to keep on attacking him.
Matt doesn’t like the way Coach Beilein uses (or doesn’t use) his bigs. It’s a contrast of styles. Coach has been successful for a long time doing it the way he does. I think he is always willing to adapt to his players and the offense and defense changes based off of them. He has his hands full this year because of injuries and early departures. The coaching staff clearly wasn’t as prepared as we would think they should be after losing Burke, Hardaway, Stauskas, Robinson, and McGary in a two year span. Four 1st rounders and a 2nd rounder (who made a roster) is a heck of a run for almost any coach/program. Early departures have never happened on any Beilein coached teams. Coach Beilein has to adapt his philosophies on a lot of things in order to be consistently successful in the Big Ten.
Last thing, this is the longest he has ever been at a D1 program. All new territory for him and his staff.
MattD just wondering if you have ever just agreed to disagree with someone or not without hammering home your point relentlessly? Your passion for basketball and Michigan is great to see but at times I am sure many of us just scroll past your comment as they tend to repeat themselves while talking down to people.
Just my .02 cents take it for what it is worth.
Your point is well taken…but as I’ve stated repeatedly, it’s not me “hammering away” as much as it is others responding to my initial post 2-3 days later, at which point I respond. That is what the forum is about, no?

Yes it is and we probably agree more often than not as previously mentioned especially on the BIGS. As I said just a very friendly suggestion which may lead to more productive debates is all as I have a feeling some will shy away from it even if they think they have something of value to offer. Which would be a shame.

Appreciate the respectful and diplomatic tone of your approach. I can certainly admit that I can stand to be more tactful.
