John Beilein could be on his way out of Cleveland.
According to reports Monday from The Athletic and ESPN, the former Michigan basketball coach is considering stepping down as coach of the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers by the end of the All-Star break. League games resume Thursday.
Beilein left the Wolverines this past May to accept his first coaching job in the NBA, signing a five-year deal with the Cavaliers. He was excited for the opportunity, a chance to rebuild a recent NBA champion that had fallen to a 19-63 record last season following the departure of LeBron James.
