Atlanta Hawks Reportedly Interviewed Nate McMillan


The Atlanta Hawks are searching for a new coach, even though Larry Drew isn’t out of the building yet. According to Yahoo! Sports, the Hawks interviewed Nate McMillan for the gig: “Atlanta general manager Danny Ferry is going through the unorthodox process of conducting a coaching search while his current coach, Larry Drew, remains under contract until June 30. Drew is highly unlikely to be retained as coach, but Ferry has reserved the remote option of revisiting contract extension talks with Drew should the Hawks fail to attract a coach Ferry believes is a better fit for the franchise. McMillan also is a candidate for the coaching openings with the Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons. He’s already interviewed with those teams. Ferry has shown significant interest in former Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, but Van Gundy is unlikely to return to coaching next season.”
