Michigan coach John Beilein thought about making a jump to the NBA last year.
This time around, Beilein is actually taking the leap.
Beilein, Michigan basketball’s all-time winningest coach, has agreed to become the next head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The news was first reported Monday by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, who reported that Beilein, 66, agreed to a five-year deal on Sunday.
