I don’t know what happened between Coach Howard and Coach Turgeon. What I do know is this. If I am a 5-Star Blue Chip recruit watching the game at home, I am thinking, I want to play for a guy that fights for his players like Juwan Howard at Michigan!

Juwan Howard is the National Coach of the Year right now. Mark Few at Gonzaga & Scott Drew at Baylor are undefeated and were preseason #1 & #2 in CBB . They’ve done what was expected. Michigan was ranked #6 preseason in the Big Ten. They have far exceeded every expectation.

Michigan’s 43-6 run against top 10 Wisconsin was the most dominant stretch of basketball all year - NBA or College! 16 baskets - 7 layups, 4 dunks & 4 uncontested 3’s, only 1 midrange J. Seven scored, near perfection on defense. I am in awe of what I watched last night!!!

Great coaches make in-game adjustments. 2:43 to go. Michigan by 8 & LSU is desperate & selling-out with their press Smith trapped. Timeout. Juwan sees the pressure & diagrams a play. M passes to Dickinson, full-court pass to Wagner for the dunk. Game over. You saw it too!

Michigan needs Caleb Houstan to make shots to beat Villanova. He has missed 35 of his last 47. Here is some free advice. Forget about NBA scouts. Start with free throws, a layup, or good D to build confidence. Get your legs into your shot. Wait for a wide open 1st shot.

Michigan’s Sweet 16 run is highly improbable. 7 of 9 in the rotation are underclassmen or transfers. Juwan’s suspension was a distraction. 1st round Big10 Tourney loss. Barely made the tournament. Devante’ Jones hasn’t been healthy. Michigan is a team of destiny.

Phil Martell will deflect the credit, but he was brilliant. So was Devante Jones. Without Hunter clogging the post, Michigan’s P&R game & spacing was the best all year. 11-11 second half free throws & only 6 turnovers. Kobe Bufkin will be a star. Remember that 3.

Michigan has no need to panic. If there is a good loss this was it. Here’s why: The #1 team on the road combined with travel fatigue. Offensive flaws were exposed & will offer valuable teaching points. #1 key is to recalibrate & focus on a 2-0 Big 10 start vs Iowa & Illinois

If we are going to praise Michigan’s potential, we have to be objective too. UM allowed double-digit dunks last night, a sign of shockingly low intensity. Michigan has played hard in every game of the Juwan Howard era - until last night. Still, plenty of time to get it right.

Michigan must play smaller to beat Nova. Their shooting/Pick & Roll game’s too strong. Moussa & Caleb seldom play well together. In 10 of the last 11 one scored in double figures & the other didn’t. Play the high impact guy & sit the other. Also, play Terrance Williams more.

I watched Michigan Basketball commit Hunter Dickinson at the TOP 100 Camp. He is a future NBA player with tremendous versatility & room to grow. Similar to Jon Teske, a post-presence w/ 3-point potential & a solid pick & roll attack. A perfect fit in Michigan’s NBA style attack.

Knowing what we know now, Zavier Simpson fouling out could be a blessing in disguise. He only played 17 minutes. The confidence of DeJulius & Brooks must be sky-high. He will be the freshest guard that sees the court for Michigan tomorrow.

After @umichbball practice on Saturday I watched Xavier Simpson getting up extra shots. At one point I counted 14-20 from 3. It appears that college basketball’s best defensive point guard is making great strides from the three-point line.

Are you concerned that Hunter Dickinson declared for the NBA Draft? Don’t be. It’s a part of his growth process. He will hear that he’s a 2nd round pick right now & he can still improve his conditioning, perimeter shooting & screen game. His future is bright. One more year!

Kudos to @H_Dickinson24 for expanding his game with a right hand jump hook. He may not need it vs. Wayne State in November, but will be glad he has it vs Kofi Cockburn on January 14. I bet he took 10,000 jump hooks over his left shoulder and it looks beautiful.

For Michigan Basketball, the little things make the biggest difference. No-one does a better job of contesting shots without fouling. They do not go for shot-fakes. 9 in the rotation - All 9 have scored in double figures. They have the most enthusiastic bench in CBB!

Duncan Robinson’s as a Sr. at Michigan was a one-dimensional, non-defender. He has emerged as a complete player. A solid driver/passer, sets strong screens & moves well off the ball. Smart on D & a trusted shooter. Kudos to an obvious hard worker.

Here is why the Michigan BB team is loaded with enthusiasm. 11 of the top 14 are brand new to the college experience. Last year’s freshmen had no football games or tailgates, no in-person classes & walks across the Diag. No parties & student interaction. Enjoy college guys!

The Michigan win at Rutgers was their best since Gonzaga. Most teams lose energy & focus on D when shots aren’t falling. (M 6-23 from 3). Instead, they elevated their 2nd half defensive effort & had their best game of the year contesting shots.

I am excited for Michigan Basketball to add @jaceh0ward . I watched him compete at the TOP 100 Camp last summer and he is a high character & hard working player that is loaded with potential. Great addition.

John Beilein told me that from his NBA experience so far he believes Jon Teske is an NBA Player. I agree. Best player on the court at both ends vs Gonzaga.

I saw Terrance Williams at the NBPA TOP 100 Camp. He was teammates with Franz Wagner. He is a great shooter, finisher and plays with lots of grit. He is a perfect fit in Juwan Howard's positionless system at the 3-4. He visits Ann Arbor tomorrow.

When I was in 3rd grade my basketball coach taught me when I post-up my open hand is the target. Don’t pass to the closed fist. The passers understood where to pass the ball. Watching Zach Edey & Hunter Dickinson it’s clear that feeding the post is a lost art. Too bad!
