NEW ORLEANS (AP) -The New Orleans Hornets have conducted the first two interviews of their coaching search, meeting with former Dallas coach Avery Johnson and current Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey.
Hornets spokesman Harold Kaufman says general manager Jeff Bower and team president Hugh Weber traveled to Texas with team owner Gary Chouest to meet with Johnson and Casey on Tuesday.
Kaufman says the team expects to hold more interviews but he cannot say with whom at this time.
Johnson, who interviewed with Philadelphia on Monday, coached the Mavs for three-plus seasons ending in 2008. He guided Dallas to an NBA finals appearance in 2006.
Casey was the Minnesota Timberwolves’ head coach from June 2005 to January 2007.
