List of Michigan Wolverines men's basketball head coaches
The Michigan Wolverines men's basketball program is a college basketball team that represents the University of Michigan. The team plays at the Division I level of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). They compete in the Big Ten Conference of the NCAA, where they have been since 1917.[1] They play their home games at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan.[1] The men's team has had 16 head coaches in its history. The team has played in 2,4291 games over 100 seasons of collegiate play from the 1908–09 season to the 2014–15 season (excluding 1910 to 1917, when the Wolverines did not play due to low attendance and lack of interest),[2] compiling a record of 1415–1014 (.583)1.
Steve Fisher is the first and only head coach to have led the team to an NCAA Tournament championship, doing so in 1989.[3] He also led the team to six other NCAA Tournament appearances, including two runner-up performances in 1992 and 1993, and three Final Four appearances in 1989, 1992, and 1993, but the '92 and '93 victories were vacated as punishment for the University of Michigan basketball scandal.[4] Before Fisher, Bill Frieder had led the team to three consecutive tournament appearances.[5] Seven coaches have led the team to Big Ten Regular Season Championships: E. J. Mather, George Veenker, Ozzie Cowles, Dave Strack, Johnny Orr, Frieder, and John Beilein. Brian Ellerbe was the only coach to have led the team to a Big Ten Tournament championship, but that victory was vacated in 2002 in wake of the scandal.[4][1] As of 2015, Beilein is the head coach for the team. He has led the team to Big Ten Regular Season Championships in 2012 and 2014.[6] He has also led the team to six NCAA tournament appearances, including four years in row from 2011–14.[6] During these appearances, he led the team to a runner-up finish in the tournament in 2013 and an Elite Eight appearance in 2014.[6]
