Cavaliers back J.B. Bickerstaff despite quick playoff exit
The Cavs won 51 games during the regular season and were the league’s top-rated defensive team
Cleveland Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff’s job is secure despite a first-round exit from the NBA playoffs, president of basketball operations Koby Altman said Friday.
After giving a somewhat tepid endorsement of Bickerstaff during an end-of-season news conference Friday, Altman made it clear the Cavs are moving forward with their coach.
“End that speculation,” Altman said in a text message to The Associated Press. “He’s our head coach and we have a lot of support and respect for the job he’s done.”
