Hawks coach Larry Drew to interview for Bucks job

Hawks coach Larry Drew’s contract ends on June 30, and while Atlanta has not decided on his future with the franchise, he has an interview lined up with the Bucks already.

Current Atlanta Hawks coach Larry Drew will interview with the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, reports Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Drew's contract with the Hawks expires on June 30 and the Hawks remain undecided on his future with the organization. Drew has indicated he is open to returning, but the Hawks are allowing him to interview with other teams while they make their decision.

The Hawks have also interviewed Stan Van Gundy, San Antonio Spurs' assistant Mike Budenholzer, and Nate McMillan. Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports reports that there is only a "slim chance" that Drew and his coaching staff will be retained.

The Bucks coaching search has not gone smoothly as they've already dealt with both Van Gundy and Jerry Sloan informing them that they are not interested in the coaching vacancy.

Both teams are spreading their coaching search wide as they prepare to transition once free agency officially begins on July 1.
