The news was first reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Beilein leaves Ann Arbor as the program's winningest head coach. His teams have finished as the national runner-up twice, won two Big Ten regular-season championships and two Big Ten Tournament titles.
At Michigan, Beilein failed to make the NCAA Tournament just three times in 12 years, leaving with a record of 278–150 at the school.
