AP sources: Cavs sign Michigan’s Beilein to 5-year deal
CLEVELAND — The Cavaliers went back to college to get a coach.
Cleveland has signed Michigan’s John Beilein to a five-year contract, three people familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Monday. The deal came together quickly in the past 24 hours and was finalized Sunday after the Cavs had spent the weekend in Denver interviewing several NBA assistants.
The people spoke to The AP condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the hire.
