Former Michigan basketball coach John Beilein continues to be recognized for his outstanding career.

Other members of the Class of 2022 are former players Richard Hamilton (Connecticut), Larry Miller (North Carolina), Frank Selvy (Furman) and the late Jimmy Walker (Providence), along with coaches Jerry Krause and Lon Kruger. The class will be joined by additional coaches Jim Calhoun and Roy Williams, who will be formally honored in the Class of 2022 after initially being recognized as part of the founding class in 2006.
Beilein was also recently voted for induction into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame, where he’ll be recognized in September. The NABC honor will be Beilein’s 12th Hall of Fame honor.
Beilein is unique in that he’s never been an assistant coach. He began his career at the high school level and spanned more than four decades, winning 829 games in college at Erie Community College, Nazareth, Le Moyne, Canisius, Richmond, West Virginia and Michigan.
Beilein, the winningest coach in Michigan history, made a total of 20 trips to NCAA postseasons. His career was headlined by a pair of Final Four and national title game appearances at Michigan (in 2013 and 2018). After departing U-M in 2019, he spent one season coaching the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers before joining the Pistons.
Beilein and the Class of 2022 will be enshrined on Nov. 20 in Kansas City as part of National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame weekend, which also features the annual Hall of Fame Classic tournament.
