Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 2246472, member: 6357"] Unless something has changed or the Battle recruitment really caused a rift, I'd be surprised by that. JB and Beilein were definitely friendly off the court for years. During Michigan and SU's 2013 Final Four runs, Beilein praised JB for helping him early in his career at Lemoyne and advocating for him to land the job at Canisius. As for Mark Few, besides Coach K I think Few is one of JB's closest friends in the current coaching ranks. They've discussed their friendship the past couple times SU and the Zags have played. And Few talked about JB several times during the Zags' tournament run last season. Discussed what JB told him about losing a national championship game. [/QUOTE]
