All eyes are on Ben Braun as the search for a new Michigan men's basketball coach kicks into high gear.
Since the dismissal of coach Steve Fisher on Saturday, rumors have run rampant concerning who might take over the program. The man conducting the search - Athletic Director Tom Goss - last night confirmed and discredited some of the rumors surrounding the search.
