CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cavaliers will not renew the contracts of two assistant coaches and is promoting one of their player development coaches to a seat behind the bench, a league source confirmed to cleveland.com.
Assistant coach Jim Boylan and director of player development Phil Handy will not return next season.
Dan Geriot, who worked with Handy on the development side, is being promoted to take Handy's place (it's considered an assistant coach's role). Assistant Damon Jones may slide toward the front of the bench, where Boyland used to sit with Larry Drew and Mike Longabardi next to head coach Tyronn Lue.
