With Texas men’s basketball head coach Shaka Smart struggling, it’s time to think options.
Particularly, that option may come in the form of John Beilein, who recently left his head coaching duties with the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers, and who has more than 40 years of experience coaching at the collegiate level. From ESPN: “Beilein struggled to connect with NBA players and was never able to implement his collegiate offense into the pro game. He befell the plight of some previous coaches who made the leap to the NBA: players quickly tuning him out with his penchant for screaming and believing that Beilein was treating them as young, college athletes, not as professionals, league sources said.
