I posted an article not long ago on what needs to improve for the Michigan offense to play more consistently.

Michigan Defense Not Switching Entirely To Single (Man) Coverage
The Michigan football team has played a similar defensive style dating back to the Jim Harbaugh era. Under Harbaugh, the team employed a man-heavy 4-3 scheme and was highly aggressive.

Dusty May Is Still Building Michigan’s Basketball Program
It would be easy to criticize Dusty May and say that the Michigan men’s basketball coach used the NIL to win a National Championship, which he did. But to say that will be ongoing is simply premature and wrong in a way. So, just how is May building the basketball team, and why his approach…
