Five thoughts on John Beilein to the Cavaliers

John Beilein is headed to Cleveland. The Wolverine head coach accepted a job offer from Dan Gilbert and the Cleveland Cavaliers and Michigan needs a new head coach.

Here are five reactions to Beilein’s decision and what comes next for the Michigan basketball program that he built over the last 12 years.

Still to come

  1. 1. Beilein built this program. It's important to remember where he started
  2. 2. This makes sense for Beilein
  3. 3. Hiring the right coach is more important than any roster shake ups
  4. 4. Where does Michigan go next?
  5. 5. Timing isn't a dealbreaker
