John Beilein is an Out-of-Nowhere Hire Who Could Be Perfect for the Cavs

There was one question that I kept asking as the Cleveland Cavaliers kicked off yet another search for a head coach – how much say would ownership have in the final decision?

To make it simpler, I kept wondering if this hire was going to qualify as a “Dan Gilbert move.”

For reference, a Dan Gilbert move can be defined as a hire which goes against the grain, something nobody saw coming. Trying to lure Tom Izzo away from Michigan State. Hiring David Blatt despite all his experience coming from overseas.
