NBA: Midterm reports for first-year head coaches
By John Nassif
John Beilein, Cleveland Cavaliers
The chaos of the Kings is only to be outdone by the Cleveland Cavaliers. The last few weeks have featured a Kevin Love on court meltdown, fights with Koby Altman, players saying Beilein has lost control of the team, and the infamous “slug” incident.
It has unfortunately drastically overshadowed a promising rookie season from Darius Garland. There should be no question on John Beilein’s pedigree at the college level. However, professionally, his brief career has been nothing short of a train wreck.
Good Stat: 3rd in avg overtime margin (yes…that’s the only good stat I could find)
Bad Stat: Turnovers AND Defense – 2nd most Turnovers at 16.4 per game and 2nd highest Opponent Field Goal Percentage at 48.4%
