NBA: Hornacek to be Interviewed by Bulls
- Thread starter LindenCy
- Start date
That's what I thought. I would love it if he could make it work there. He went to Lyons Township for HS in the Chicago suburbs.
It looks like he interviewed for the Suns job too!
Hornacek follows Casey in Bulls' interview lineup :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Bulls
Former Utah Jazz guard Jeff Hornacek is next up today on Bulls general manager John Paxson's busy schedule of interviews with head-coaching candidates.
Former Minnesota Timberwolves coach Dwane Casey was at the Berto Center on Thursday to talk with Paxson. Casey could land on the staff of new Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle if he doesn't get the Bulls' job.
Paxson met with fourth-year Jazz assistant and former DePaul star Tyrone Corbin on Wednesday, and former NBA coach John Lucas told KRIV-TV in Houston that he has spoken to Paxson about the job and will interview. Lucas has a 174-258 career record in six seasons coaching the San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Hornacek, a La Grange native who starred at Lyons Township High School and Iowa State, interviewed with Phoenix Suns GM Steve Kerr on Thursday about succeeding Mike D'Antoni. Corbin is due to meet with Kerr today.
Paxson also will meet with Sacramento Kings assistant Chuck Person, perhaps on Saturday.
A source confirmed that Paxson traveled to Los Angeles earlier in the week and met with Lakers assistants Brian Shaw and Kurt Rambis.
The Bulls and Suns are expected to ask for permission to talk to Boston Celtics assistant Tom Thibodeau. The Celtics don't want teams talking with Thibodeau during their playoff run.
Paxson has said he will conduct more interviews when he's in Orlando next week for the NBA predraft camp. The Bulls are interested in talking with Eric Snow, currently under contract as a player with the Cavaliers

I really don't know why they are messing around with guys with no head coaching expirience. This is a pretty big hire for Paxson right now, especially now that he has the #1 pick in the draft. I think Avery Johnson or Jeff VanGundy would be a lot better choice for this situation.
here is what hornacek has been doing since retiring:
Hornacek has tutored Utah's Andrei Kirilenko for the past three years but became an official Jazz special assistant this season, spending two days a week in Utah with head coach Jerry Sloan's staff. With two kids in high school and one in college next year, Hornacek is ready to leap full time into coaching.
