Coach Beilein brought the entire UfoM men’s basketball team to St. Louis Center last season.
The team showed the residents their practice routines and let a number of them try their hand at some of the tasks. The team members were awesome interacting with the residents. Even got to meet Trey
Burke and Tim Hardaway before they went pro. Coach Beilein is very passionate about his support
for SLC. Please vote for him.
