After a run with an experienced college coach with a sterling reputation for not cheating produced two NCAA title game appearances, I guess Michigan decided it needed to go in a different direction.

As opposed to what? Asking Beilein to keep coaching on the days when the Cavaliers don't have a game?

Or maybe finding an experienced coach with a sterling reputation.
and very excited that of all their options, Juwan was the pick. I had no interest in Cooley or Smart, and there weren't many other options after that willing to come. I love Coach B but the timing of his departure screwed us, which wasn't really his fault.
A carbon copy of Beilein wasn't walking through that door, so anyone else is going to be a bit of a different direction. Really hoping they are able to keep some, if not all, assistants.

I don't think Howard has a bad rep. He's been eager to coach for some time.
But it is a big step. See Mullin at St. John's and Ewing at Georgetown as examples of administrations reaching back to their past for help...
Might be a little out there since he has had no experience in college or any experience as a head coach anywhere.
I think it'll be fun for the Big Ten.
The dads and students of the game will have made respect for Howard. Who is actually a student of the game and was very fundamentally sound as a player himself. Also recruiting guys and them feeling comfortable that they can get on the court as a freshman is going to go a long way ... Not to mention he has been getting his chops up as a coach. Toss in his ties to the league to help guys get to the next level he should be able to recruit some ball players.

Working his way up. Pat Beilein was 18-10 this past season at LeMoyne, and was 77-41 overall in 4 seasons.
If Howard can't cut it, might be worth watching how young Beilein fares at Niagara the next couple seasons.
