The Cavaliers have looked like a different squad since Bickerstaff took over the head coaching duties on February 21st vs the Washington Wizards. The Cavaliers are 5-6 under Bickerstaff. Although it is a small sample size, the team has looked better playing in Bickerstaff’s system.
He has brought structure and better communication to a team desperately in need of a culture change. One unnamed player commented that had Bickerstaff held the job from the start of the season that they could easily be a 30+ win team.
On March 10th the Cavaliers rewarded Bickerstaff with a contract extension that runs through the 2023/24 season. He will have the opportunity to mold this squad into a playoff contender as early as 2020/21.
