    I'm a huge fan of John Beilein for several reasons. First among them is the story in this article. It's an easy read which will take only a few moments. The kid is from Fort Wayne. I'm familiar with his story. He survived two plane crashes which together took the lives of his mother, two siblings, and his father and stepmother.

    Sid, I have read several articles about this young man. A miracle that he still resides on this earth. Kudos to Coach Beilein as well for his continuing endeavors. This story reveals multiple winners and does one's heart good to read and enjoy.

    I remember his story, young man has overcome quite a bit to say the least. I'm glad he's getting his moment, it's a testament to Beilein and the type of person he is to give this young man the chances he has given him.

    Hatch has faced so much adversity in his young life. His recovery from the second crash is an inspiring story.

    Beilein is a great representative for Michigan.
