Two people familiar with the decision say Michigan's John Beilein
has agreed to become head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
ESPN, citing unidentified sources , said Beilein agreed to a five-year deal with
the Cavaliers.
The winningest coach in the history of the Michigan program,
Beilein went 278-150 in 12 seasons with the Wolverines, making the
Final Four in 2013 and 2018. He had talks with the Detroit Pistons
last year when they were in the market for a new coach, but he said
he was never offered that job.
Beilein tweeted his thanks Monday to Michigan's players and fans.
