inside michigan athletics What He Wants To Do When He Graduates: "I have one more year after this one. I am interested in working with the government in humanitarian policy. I'm not exactly sure what I want to do, but I'd like to gain some more experience. I want to do something internationally, hopefully in the developing world." Role Models: "My coaches, both at Michigan [Mike Bottom] and Kenyon College [Jess Book]. They pushed me to my limits and helped me get to where I am today. The coaching staffs at both programs have been a big inspiration to me." His Overall U-M Experience: "It has been such a phenomenal experience to have the opportunity to represent Michigan. I wasn't able to compete at this level when I was looking at colleges in high school. I wasn't at that level, yet. Joining Michigan for one year, it made me appreciate everything this place has to offer. And the team dynamic at Michigan is unbelievable. The leadership here is great. This team was a group of amazing individuals who came together, worked hard and won a national championship. It was a great learning experience." — Andy Reid John Beilein's Salary Ranks Sixth Among Big Ten Coaches Michigan's John Beilein ranked sixth among Big Ten basketball coaches in total 2012-13 pay according to a report published in USA Today.
