The Cleveland Cavaliers are hiring Cal women's head coach Lindsay Gottlieb as an assistant coach, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Gottlieb will become the first women's college coach to become an NBA assistant upon joining John Beilein's staff in Cleveland. She will also be the second female assistant coach in the NBA, joining Becky Hammon of the Spurs.
Gottlieb joins the Cavaliers sporting an impressive record at the collegiate level. She has been at Cal since 2011, sporting seven NCAA tournament appearances in eight seasons. The Bears reached the 2013 Final Four with Gottlieb at the helm, winning the Pac-12 with a 32–4, 17–1 conference record.
