Head Coach

It did not take Steve Clifford long to land on his feet after losing his head coaching gig with the Charlotte Hornets. He is now the guiding force for the Orlando Magic. ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news on Wednesday: Steve Clifford has agreed to a four-year deal to become the head coach of the Orlando [...]

There is no sugarcoating the fact that the Oklahoma City Thunder didn’t not live up to expectations this season. After blockbuster moves to acquire Paul George and Carmelo Anthony this summer, many thought they would be the biggest threat to the Warriors throne in the western conference and maybe the NBA. Fast forward 7 months [...]

The New York Knicks have spoken to and interviewed everyone and their mother during their head coaching search this summer (seriously, ask your mom) and according to reports, may be zeroing in on former Memphis Grizzlies coach and Miami Heat assistant, David Fizdale. [tweet https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/991799937313755136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] Fizdale is well known and liked around the league by [...]

With the Milwaukee Bucks comfortably removed from the NBA’s postseason, they can now begin the process of replacing Jason Kidd. And according to ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski, they have more than a few names in mind: [tweet https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/992030198710390784] Most of these were a given even before they were official. Mike Budenholzer is atop every vacancy’s list [...]

The New York Knicks have added Golden State Warriors assistant Mike Brown to their list of head coaching candidates. And now they’re officially ready to hire Jeff Hornacek’s replacement. From ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski: After talking with Golden State Warriors assistant Mike Brown, the New York Knicks have completed interviews for the franchise’s head-coaching job, and team officials are huddling [...]

Don’t expect the Memphis Grizzlies to join the hunt for one of the many top head coaching prospects currently available. They’re apparently in favor of retaining J.B. Bickerstaff, who took over the team after David Fizdale was fired. Speaking on a recent episode of the Dunc’d On podcast, Marc Stein of The New York Times intimated that [...]

Anyone clamoring for the Phoenix Suns to speak with Jason Kidd about their head coaching vacancy has officially received their wish. The same goes for anyone who wanted Vinny Del Negro to get some face time, too. (Props to someone if they actually belong to this group.) After cycling through some of the top candidates, [...]

Mike Budenholzer will not be the next head coach of the Phoenix Suns. That this was even a remote possibility remains somewhat surprising. Budenholzer already has a gig with the Atlanta Hawks, and while the new front office regime inherited him, seldom do you see gainfully employed head coaches being granted permission to hold court [...]

It doesn’t sound like Jeff Van Gundy will be competing with ESPN colleague Mark Jackson in the New York Knicks’ head-coaching sweepstakes. Though Van Gundy’s name is one among many that has been floated around as a potential replacement for the fired Jeff Hornacek, ESPN.com’s Ian Begley reports the franchise doesn’t have any interest in [...]

The New York Knicks wasted little time in firing head coach Jeff Hornacek following their final game of the season. And they wasted even less time coming up with a list of potential replacements. According to ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Knicks canned Hornacek almost immediately after they returned from their road victory over the Cleveland [...]
