Look aginlakeway you threaten to turn me in because you didn't like what I had to say. you told me to leave you alone. Now you come crawling back looking for money. Can't have it both ways Be a freakin man. Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean you go hide under a rock until you get good news.

Wow dude. Lol. I asked you to stop sending me harassing PMs about whether or not I wanted to go double or nothing on our bet whether this team would make the NCAA tournament. You asked me via PM if I still wanted "my man Kennedy" to be our coach. I asked you to stop PMing me because you were harassing me.

When have I ever hid under a rock? I'm not the one who posted over and over again about his much Kennedy and our basketball team sucks. And then you disappear. I have been a consistent texags poster for a decade. I never hide under a rock.

Our bet was that the loser would send 100 bucks to the TMF, not to each other. I could care less about taking your money. And I am not crawling back to you for money. I am not the one owed money. You owe the TMF money. So man up and pay them and let me know when our bet is settled.

Done with you. I expect you to man up and pay the TMF shortly.

Michigan hasn't played with two post players on the floor at the same time with one brief exception. And it doesn't sound like Beilein's too worried about making a switch now.

"They will out-rebound us," Beilein said plainly during his radio show earlier this week. "I think Michigan State just out-rebounded Syracuse (big and still lost). You know how I feel about rebounds. I do not, the only thing I care about with rebounds is I don't want them to get offensive rebounds.

"That's all it is."

This has been Beilein's philosophy throughout his tenure at Michigan. The Wolverines don't crash the offensive glass on their own with multiple players, preferring to get back on defense to limit transition opportunities and set their own defense.

"It's not about who had the most (overall) rebounds, it's about who has the most possessions," Beilein adds. "You need possessions to score."

By leaving Wagner on the floor with a stretch four like Livers or Duncan Robinson, Michigan's offense is then able to space bigger teams out and force them to guard five players who can pass, drive and shoot.

Beilein would much rather have that in his pocket over the ability to win the rebounding margin.

"If you limit them to one possession, one shot every time, you'll limit them," Beilein said. "I see a difference in the game right now and I don't (know if people understand). They (want) you to send four to the (offensive) boards. People don't do that too much anymore, the NBA doesn't do it much. Everyone's realized defensive transition is more important than offensive rebounding."

"Some still think (the other way). I'm not saying what's right or wrong. But to have good transition defense to get yourself set. If the expense is maybe six on offensive rebounding but you gave up 10 points in transition because you didn't have defensive balance, you lose that analytical game."

Beilein said he still hears the outcries from fans with regard to offensive rebounding. But he's not ready to flinch on this.

"I know what you're all yelling when you see us send one guy at the boards and it's 'why don't you send three,' that's the way I used to coach," Beilein said. "Three go at the boards and some guys just can't rebound. So you waste them. They're just running all the time and not getting rebounds. So now, Duncan Robinson's tired, he can't make a shot because he's trying something he can't do.
"It's OK. Just don't give them second shots."
