Nice article in the NY Times on the West Virginia coach who is a Wheeling Jesuit graduate and former coach of Lemoyne. He seems like a typical solid upstate guy. His best player is a a former Jimmy Baron Bonnie recruit who transferred out when that jerk of a president, Wichauser chased Baron away and made a joke of things in Olean.

He lead another Jesuit school, Canisius, to the Big Dance in '96. I went to a couple of his basketball camps while he was there. Great guy. (NT) -- Air Hej '02, Wed March 23, 2005 12:05:58
- He is a great guy. When my father was president at Nazareth College here in Rochester, he gave John his start in college coaching by hiring him back in the early '80s. Nazareth was (and still is) Division - III. Beilein had quick success here and then moved on after about two years to LeMoyne, a Div.II school. He's been a winner everywhere, and his current success comes as no surprise to anyone who has followed his career. (NT) -- Upstate Ram, Wed March 23, 2005 17:11:53
- BTW, I seem to recall that Beilein's PG at Nazareth was a young man named Jeff Van Gundy. (NT) -- Upstate Ram, Wed March 23, 2005 17:50:06
Just a FYI, Beilein's niece is actually a freshman at Fordham. Met her at Arthur House the night WVU beat Syracuse in the Big East tourney. She told me he's looking to retire in the near future. (NT) -- Marco (CBA 07), Sat March 26, 2005 03:01:26
