CLEVELAND (AP) -A person familiar with Cleveland’s search says the Cavaliers have completed interviews and are close to selecting a new head coach.
The Cavs have narrowed their choice to a few candidates, and one is Los Angeles Lakers assistant Brian Shaw, says the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the process is supposed to remain confidential.
The person says Cleveland has not yet offered Shaw the job.
The 44-year-old Shaw spent two days this week with the Cavs. A 14-year guard in the NBA with seven teams, Shaw has spent the past five seasons on Phil Jackson’s staff. He figures to be a candidate to replace Jackson if the 11-time champion retires, but the Cavaliers may offer him his first head coaching position first.
The Cavs fired Mike Brown on May 24.
