John Beilein was awful fit as Cavs HC, and him having different role now is head-scratching

As fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers are probably well-aware of given recent reports, John Beilein is no longer the team’s head coach.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Beilein left that role with Cleveland on late Tuesday, and while a settlement was reached for him to receive some of the compensation he was due to earn during the rest of 2019-20, he essentially walked away from the remaining four years left on his deal. The last year of the contract was an option year, to clarify.

In Beilein’s tenure as Cavs head coach, the squad went just 14-40 and is currently in the basement of the Eastern Conference.
