The Wizards
interviewed 76ers assistant coach Sam Cassell for their open head
coaching position today, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA. Cassell was
an assistant for the Wizards from 2009-2014.
ANALYSIS: With the
departure of Scott Brooks, it was only a matter of time before the
Wizards began to potential coaching candidates. Cassell, a
three-time champion and 14-year veteran, is familiar with
Washington, having spent five years with the team as an assistant
from 2009-2014. Cassell has also served in the same capacity with
the Los Angeles Clippers and, most recently, the Philadelphia
76ers.
