Former University of Michigan and Cleveland Cavaliers head coach John Beilein will join the Detroit Pistons as a senior adviser focused on player development, according to Marc Stein of the New York Times. An official announcement is expected this week, Stein reports.
Beilein has been a frequent presence at Little Caesars Arena this season and apparently wasn’t ready to step away from the game after not even lasting a full season into a five-year deal to be the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
His coaching career saw him rise from high school to community college to slowly advancing through the ranks to one of the most storied programs in college basketball at the University of Michigan.
