[QUOTE]The Charlotte Bobcats have narrowed their list of head coaching candidates to Jerry Sloan, Brian Shaw and Quin Snyder, according to league sources. After going through an initial interview with Charlotte executives Rod Higgins and Rich Cho, each of the three candidates will meet with Bobcats owner Michael Jordan within the next week or so. ESPN.com
Sloan, Shaw and Snyder were chosen from a field of interviewees that included Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing, former Portland coach Nate McMillan, Golden State assistant Michael Malone, Cleveland assistant Nate Tibbetts, Charlotte assistant Stephen Silas, Memphis assistant Dave Joerger and St. John's University assistant Mike Dunlap.

You'd think if he wants it, it is his. McMillan isn't a finalist. All of Phil Jackson's assistants have failed. He might want to wait for a better gig though? I'd guess McMillan is.
Steve Kauffman represents Malone and Jerome Stanley reps Shaw and both have confirmed to CSNNW.com that the Trail Blazers have not called the Warriors or Pacers to seek permission. Our very own Dwight Jaynes reported earlier this week that Jerry Sloan has not been contacted by the Trail Blazers, either. CSNNW.com

Malone and Shaw have been candidates since Stan Van Gundy was fired.
Vaughn has been an assistant with the Spurs over the past two seasons.
Hall of Famer Jerry Sloan said he interviewed Wednesday for the Portland coaching job but has removed himself from consideration. Sloan said Trail Blazers general manager Neil Olshey flew to Salt Lake City to interview him. However, Sloan called the team Thursday to pull out.

Doubt Phil want anything to do with Deron either. He could have stayed in Utah if he did. Would love to see Phil get a job and Jerry assist him.

Of course he does, would you publically piss off the fan base by saying you don't want Sloan as your coach? Better just to play it cool knowing it won't happen.
The Utah Jazz have had a preliminary discussion with Jerry Sloan about returning to the fold in an unspecified position. Twenty-six months after resigning from being the Jazz's head coach, the Hall of Famer is open to considering taking a role with his old organization to help the rebuilding franchise and his successor, Tyrone Corbin.

"That's up to (them). That's a situation that's strictly up to Ty or somebody in the Jazz organization," Sloan told the Deseret News. "If they want me around, fine. If they don't, (fine). They'd talked to me a little bit about it a little bit earlier." Deseret News
