The capitalization on this thread is misleading.

Quote:
Belichick is a Croatian American. His father, Steve Belichick (born Stephen Biličić), played for the Detroit Lions and was an assistant coach and scout with the United States Naval Academy football team for 33 years.

Steve Belichick maintained strong ties with the Croatian community in Pennsylvania. When he married, at the suggestion of Immigration Center, he changed his surname from Biličić into Belichick


Looks like they changed the spelling but kept the pronunciation, ergo it's not really pronounced wrong.
