Michigan head coach John Beilein has made the first cut in the Infiniti Coaches' Challenge pitting 48 of the nations college coaches against each other in hopes of getting the most votes and take home the $100,000 prize for a charity of their choice. 

Beilein took home 13-percent of the votes in round one, and needs your help to continue the surge into round two. 

His charity of choice is the Chad Tough Foundation, in memory of Chad Carr.

Voting is now open here:

Beilein is also the leader of the seventh-best three-point shooting team in the NCAA.

Michigan can be deadly from the outside, and Beilein says that long range shooting is practiced early and often at Michigan. 

But how many three's does one need to make to have a shot at the roster? 

WXYZ sports reporter Justin Rose tried his hand. 

Take a look at the video above for more from Beilein as games with Rutgers and Penn State loom large this week.
