CLEVELAND (AP) John Beilein stood at midcourt with his arms folded and watched as the Cavaliers pushed through practice drills that the former Michigan coach developed and perfected during 37 years at the college level.

With each bounce of the ball, every pass and shot, Beilein's head bobbed ever so slightly, his eyes fixated on details - foot work, hand placement, balance, follow-through.

He smiled knowingly, and it's clear the 66-year-old grandfather is in his element.
