J.B Bickerstaff couldn’t dream of a better Christmas present. His franchise has just announced that the coach of the Cavs has been extended until the end of the 2027 season. If the timing of the announcement makes you smile, it comes to register in a certain form of logic. The Cleveland team is this season’s most successful post-Lebron (5th East with 19 wins for 15 losses), and its best players are under contract for at least three years. The Cavaliers are therefore betting on the long term for their hard core, and we can say that the reconstruction leads by Koby Altman is going well so far.
Bickerstaff is, with all certainty the right head coach to lead this franchise to lead this franchise into what we believe is a very promising future.
Bickerstaff is for sure the right coach to lead the franchise into what is believed to be a hugely promising future. Koby Altman
Head coach of the Cavs since February 2020, after having been assistant to John Belein, Bickerstaff leads his third NBA franchise after mixed experiences in Houston and Memphis. If the locker room praises his qualities as a leader, he does not have a great reputation as a tactician. Nevertheless, it is difficult not to bow to his season so far, since he has made a young franchise a credible candidate for the playoffs, perhaps even without going through the play-in. Under him, the team grew, and he dared to rely on his young people with great potential to lead the team, taking advantage of the recent good drafts of his management. It is up to the Cavaliers to confirm from now on, since they also have a favorable calendar in the next two weeks, a good chance of garnering valuable success in the race at postseason.
