Ex-Michigan coach John Beilein makes history by adding Cal women's coach to staff

In a landmark move for the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers have hired California women's coach Lindsay Gottlieb to be an assistant on former Michigan coach John Beilein's staff.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.

Beilein, who left Michigan to become the head coach of the Cavaliers in May, hired Gottlieb, who is the first women's college basketball coach to be hired in the NBA.
