Cavaliers Promote J.B. Bickerstaff To Full-Time Head Coach
The Cleveland Cavaliers have promoted J.B. Bickerstaff from associate head coach to full-time head coach.
John Beilein and the Cavaliers agreed to part ways on Tuesday.
Bickerstaff was hired as part of an eventual succession plan with Beilein. Bickerstaff has previously been a head coach with the Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies, with both spots coming as part of in-season coaching changes. Bickerstaff replaced Kevin McHale with the Rockets and David Fizdale with the Grizzlies.
