John Beilein Steps Down as Head Coach, JB Bickerstaff
Takes the Reins
After a solid home victory over the Hawks in the final game before the All-Star Break, today’s feature was supposed to be about where the young Cavaliers – now armed with the Association’s top rebounder, Andre Drummond – would go from here over the season’s final 28 games.
But the news that began slowly eking out over the weekend officially came to fruition on Wednesday afternoon, as John Beilein announced his decision to step down as head coach of the Cavaliers.
The Wine & Gold got off to a solid start under Beilein – who’d piled up 829 victories and a 64 percent winning percentage over his 35-year coaching career – going 4-5 through the first two weeks of the campaign.
