Source: Howard reaches deal to coach Michigan

Miami Heat assistant and former Michigan star Juwan Howard has reached agreement on a five-year contract to be the next head coach of the Wolverines, a source told ESPN.

Howard will replace John Beilein, who left Michigan last week to become the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Beilein was with the Wolverines for 12 seasons, leading them to two national championship games.
