  • ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan basketball coach John Beilein underwent a double-bypass heart procedure and is expected to make a full recover, the school said Tuesday.

    The procedure was performed Monday by Dr. Francis Pagani at the University of Michigan’s Samuel and Jean Frankel Cardiovascular Center. Athletic director Warde Manuel described the operation as “proactive” and said Beilein was resting comfortably with his family by his side. He is expected to leave the hospital in a few days.

    “I feel grateful and blessed that this surgery was performed at the University of Michigan,” Beilein said in a statement. “I am going to work very hard in my rehabilitation to be stronger than ever by the time practice begins for this upcoming season.”

    Isaiah Stewart, the 6-foot-9 forward from La Lumiere (IN) and the Albany City Rocks, took an unofficial visit to Georgetown over the weekend and plans to trim his list to five very soon.

    His visit with Georgetown coincided with coach Patrick Ewing’s 56th birthday.

    “It was good,” Stewart said Monday by phone. “I enjoyed it.

    “They think I can be a guy that can open up the floodgates for Georgetown and Coach Ewing’s message to me was how he had a different type of relationship with coach [John] Thompson and that’s how he wanted to be with me. He wanted me and him to have the same relationship as him and coach Thompson. And he feels like in terms of development, he feels like there no one else who can develop me more than he can. So we talked about development in terms of me playing in their system and playing with their guards and stuff like that so it was a great visit.”

    Stewart has no other visits planned and hopes to cut his list in half, possibly as early as this week.
