Cavs, coach John Beilein plotting next steps in rough season

Cleveland — John Beilein has admitted that losing NBA games has hit him hard. Maybe too hard.

The 67-year-old former Michigan coach struggled to get through the season’s unofficial first half with the young Cavaliers, who have the worst record in the Eastern Conference.

It’s not clear if he’ll make it until the end.

Beilein and the Cavs have discussed the possibility of him stepping down before the end of the season. And while there has been no decision made about Beilein’s future, the team plans to reconvene this week following the All-Star break as players, coaches and executives return from much-needed retreats.
