John Beilein's time at Michigan basketball has come to a close.
And now athletic director Warde Manuel has the biggest test of his career.
Manuel has had his short list for Beilein's successor at U-M for some time now. That process ramped up heavily last year when Beilein entered discussions with the Detroit Pistons about a coaching job. Now it'll go into full action as Beilein's off to coach the Cleveland Cavaliers.
U-M will certainly spend some time weighing options of whether it wants to swing at a big name with a lot of cash, or find a younger coach it believes capable of being its next great men's basketball leader.
