Michigan has never had a player under Beilein who was coached to gather help-blocks, and the last time Michigan was top 100 in team blocks was his first year (with Ekpe Udoh)

meanwhile they are almost always top 10 in fewest fouls

all that is to say that a significant portion of all of his defensive issues was him being coached to scheme. it was better for Michigan for Mo NOT to foul giving help than to give up a basket in almost every situation.
