Lindsay Gottlieb is the first women’s college head coach to be recruited to an NBA team’s staff.
The Cavaliers have hired former California coach Lindsay Gottlieb as an assistant on John Beilein’s staff.
The decision by Beilein, the former Michigan coach who was hired by the Cavaliers last month, is historic. Gottlieb is the first women’s college head coach to be recruited to an NBA team’s staff. She is the fourth person to join Beilein and is expected to sign a four-year contract. “I am very thankful, proud and excited to be joining the Cavaliers. … I knew this was an organization I wanted to be a part of and a team I wanted to dedicate myself to,” Gottlieb said in a statement.
“I’m so proud of her, I’m so happy for her. She’s the reason why I am here,” said Sparks forward Ashley Walker, who played at Cal when Gottlieb was an assistant for the Golden Bears. “She’s a great coach. She’s a great motivator. The guys are lucky to have her. I'm sad to see her go, [but] it speaks a lot for our program. What she’s done and how far she’s taken [Cal’s] women’s team is amazing.
