Cleveland Cavaliers down 41..... at halftime. How big a mistake did JB make?
And in a related question, how long does Cleveland stick with him considering media reports are the players hate him?
December 7th, 2019 at 8:36 PM ^
The NBA is a mistake in general... so yeah, he made a mistake.
On the flip side though.... he's coached at every level so why not make some cash and be the only person to coach on every level ever.
December 7th, 2019 at 8:46 PM ^
He’s coached High School, Community College, D-3, D-2, D-1 and NBA...but the question is: has he coached CYO?
Those fans are tougher than NBA fans
December 7th, 2019 at 9:48 PM ^
He can still coach YMCA youth level.
December 7th, 2019 at 11:19 PM ^
He should come back to Michigan and coach intramurals.
December 7th, 2019 at 10:30 PM ^
Not a mistake. Never been an assistant and is coaching in the nba lol. Legend.
December 7th, 2019 at 11:52 PM ^
Never been an assistant
Are you sure about that? I feel like it would have been mentioned on a broadcast before...
December 8th, 2019 at 12:26 AM ^
This has actually been mentioned numerous times.
December 7th, 2019 at 8:36 PM ^
Besides Love, name another good player on that team. I'd assume it was a rebuilding year, I'm not sure why people are freaking out.
December 7th, 2019 at 8:38 PM ^
Losing 12 of 13 games is not a good look. It’s a worse look if the players aren’t buying into the coach.
December 7th, 2019 at 8:49 PM ^
There are talks of trading Love, so we'll have to see how it plays out. Beilein may have to adjust more to coaching in the NBA then he thought he would have to.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:12 PM ^
Interesting that after the unnamed player said he hates Beilein other players said they love him. Then Love is on the block... Guess we know who is being a whiny little bitch.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:57 PM ^
Love is and has always been a bitch
December 7th, 2019 at 11:46 PM ^
I logged in just to like this. Has there ever been a more overpaid player, besides Jon Koncak, that was crazy!
December 8th, 2019 at 7:24 AM ^
Jon Koncak AKA Jon Contract
December 8th, 2019 at 12:55 AM ^
Love has been on the block since before LeBron left. This ain't news.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:11 PM ^
Whoa, which JB are we talking about now? LGRW
December 7th, 2019 at 9:51 PM ^
There's only one JB.
James Brown. Soul Brother #1. The Hardest Working Man in Show Business.
December 7th, 2019 at 11:59 PM ^
Please... His whole band was The J.B.'s!
December 8th, 2019 at 9:52 AM ^
Somebody needs to photoshop Beilein's head on James Brown
December 8th, 2019 at 12:35 PM ^
Tristan Thompson is the vet leader on that team and his response was that JB is great and that the team’s anonymous players need to stop being “Chatty Pattys” and work harder. JB said his team was the worst defense in the league last year, so their complaints are silly if they don’t want to improve. The players complaining are probably the ones on the bench of a shitty team. That is why they has three first round picks this year—they stank without LBJ.
December 7th, 2019 at 8:44 PM ^
Add in that they lose their draft pick, if it falls out of the top ten. So they are more concerned with developing players than actual wins.
They were in closer games at the beginning of the year. Now they are getting blown out, so there may be something to the rumor.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:31 PM ^
Is Love really THAT good? He's meh at best
December 7th, 2019 at 10:32 PM ^
People are concerned because his team has tuned him out and quit on him after 20 games. If you’ve lost a pro locker room, you’re the one that gets the axe.
December 7th, 2019 at 8:37 PM ^
Well, if he didn’t think they’re would be any issues with coaching professional basketball players, that mindset is definitely getting tested already...
December 7th, 2019 at 8:42 PM ^
Guys I ran some numbers. It might be hard to come back from that halftime deficit.
December 7th, 2019 at 8:42 PM ^
Sad to see him struggle, but Michigan had offense problems last year which is supposed to be his deal. I think we’ve upgraded.
December 7th, 2019 at 8:47 PM ^
I think I'd wait a couple more years before saying something like that.
December 7th, 2019 at 8:53 PM ^
We had 3 starters who were really poor outside shooters, another one who was wildly inconsistent, and the other starter was a bull in a china shop freshman. The fact we were as successful as we were is a testament to JB not in spite of him
December 7th, 2019 at 9:03 PM ^
We both watched the games - UM was successful because of their elite defense. Something coach B wasn’t responsible for.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:40 PM ^
He was responsible for hiring Yak and y'know rebuilding the whole f'ing program.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:36 PM ^
Well, who recruited them and/or put us in that position?
December 7th, 2019 at 9:29 PM ^
Don't offend the group-think homers! Beilein is a nice college coach but at this time it appears as though Howard is indeed an upgrade. I am not sure about many things but I am very sure that this team is not 8-1 under Beilein...5-4 or 6-3 at best.
December 7th, 2019 at 11:24 PM ^
This post makes a statement, but it’s not the statement you think it is.
December 7th, 2019 at 11:36 PM ^
You're getting negged but I agree with this. People acting like what this years team is doing right now was expected or would have been expected with JB are full of it. This was going to be a down year, hell it still might be a down year before it's done, but as of right now JH has overachieved with this group.
December 8th, 2019 at 9:27 AM ^
I always love when someone with an incredibly wrong opinion has to resort to calling everyone else 'group thinkers' or 'sheep' instead of just thinking 'hm. Maybe that was a bad opinion'
December 7th, 2019 at 8:42 PM ^
Belien steps down as head coach, regrets leaving his "kids" in Ann Arbor, and Juwan hires him as an assistant.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:10 PM ^
Worst idea ever. You don't hire a former coach to be on the staff of a new coach. Coach B made his decision; time to move on.
December 7th, 2019 at 10:04 PM ^
Just like all these clowns that say bring hoke back. You don't do it.
December 8th, 2019 at 3:20 PM ^
Not sure it's entirely comparable, Hoke has been gone for 5 years, so all his players have cycled through.
December 7th, 2019 at 10:09 PM ^
Lol...that one went right over your head.
December 7th, 2019 at 10:59 PM ^
I'd hire hoke for the d-line today.
December 7th, 2019 at 11:28 PM ^
San Diego State did exactly that. I believe for a former assistant of his as well.
December 8th, 2019 at 1:41 AM ^
I.would take Hoke as DL coach, in a heartbeat.
December 7th, 2019 at 9:10 PM ^
That'll never happen. It would ruin the narrative. Besides, I heard Coach Beilein already had his headstone carved with the phrase "Never an assistant coach."
December 7th, 2019 at 9:18 PM ^
Guys....Sarcasm....Chill.
December 7th, 2019 at 10:44 PM ^
I'll have what you're having..........
December 7th, 2019 at 8:44 PM ^
I dont think jumping to the nba was wrong if he wanted to. He picked the wrong team and owner.
