Cleveland Cavaliers hire John Beilein

I put the over/under of panic attacks he’s had since taking the job at 1.5

Having chatted with both of them at clinics Izzo is way more likeable than Beilein. I felt like Beilein was a savant, and could teach so much, but I would rather spend a Friday night just hanging out with Izzo in terms of fun. As a Michigan fan, minus the titles, I’m glad we got to cheer on JB instead of izzo

It sounds like Love’s agent wrote this…

Literally impossible to take anything Love says seriously in that. What a joke.

So I respect the hell out of him. He walks in, just lays it all out on the line. I’ve had to walk the walk of everything I’ve talked about (in terms of) being vulnerable as a man and being vulnerable in any situation in life and having to speak the truth and it was really ballsy and hard I would imagine. So for him to come in and do that and look us all in the eye and acknowledge that integrity and willingness, that’s big. That’s real man s— right there. Everybody you talk to will say they respected the hell out of him.

I mean come on…

Real easy for Love to heap all that praise now that he knows JB won’t ever coach him again. So fake.

Love does not seem like someone JB would have recruited out of high school.

The prototypical high IQ shooting big who is a great passer, paired with extremely limited defensive skillset isn’t someone Beilein would recruit?

Love has been a dick this year, but I think his on-court skillset screams Beilein.

Duncan Robinson, Tim Hardaway Jr or Caris Levert from the top rope.

I guess that sentence structure does sound Moe-like.

The money quote: “It’s not easy to play for him, but I don’t mean that in a negative way. If you commit to what he does, it’s going to make you rich. It made me rich.”

I’m losing track: Is this the backlash to the backlash to the backlash, or the backlash to the backlash to the backlash to the backlash?

Which is probably why he’s a better fit as a college coach. Kevin Love is already rich.

Love Moe. But “if you commit to what he does, it’s going to make you rich” doesn’t really apply when everyone is already rich.

Yeah, I’m not sure it’s right to conclude from the Cleveland fiasco that he can’t ever coach pro players. He just couldn’t coach Cleveland’s players, who run coaches out of town every few months.

Still he’s probably best suited for college.

We’re just assuming Jordan Poole or DJ Wilson aren’t the source here?
