Assistant coach Dwane Casey is with the Mavericks’ management crew in Chicago and will meet with Atlanta Hawks officials about their coaching vacancy.
Casey is on the list of virtually every team looking for a coach, but several of those teams don’t seem to be in a hurry to make a hire.
New Orleans has interviewed Casey and Philadelphia, also with an opening, interviewed Casey last year. The Clippers have not yet asked for permission to interview Casey, but the Mavericks have been told there is interest.
Nelson said the Mavericks are bracing for the possibility Casey could be moving.
“We love Dwane and we’d hate to lose him,” Nelson said. “But he’s popular for a reason right now.”
