Cobb Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 ESPN.com Former Dallas Mavericks coach Avery Johnson will receive the first interview to fill the Atlanta Hawks' coaching vacancy, according to NBA coaching sources. Current Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey will also interview for the Hawks' job in the next few days, sources said. Atlanta announced Friday that Mike Woodson would not be offered a new contract after a six-season run. Johnson, an NBA analyst for ESPN, has already interviewed with the Philadelphia 76ers and his hometown New Orleans Hornets in recent weeks. The Hawks, sources said, requested and received permission from the Mavericks over the weekend to meet with Casey.Not that big of a fan of Avery considering how the Mavericks did with him in the playoffs. Being the #1 seed back in 2007 and losing to the #8 was awful. Don't get me wrong, he's an upgrade over Woody, but not by far. But hey, almost anyone is an improvement of Woodson.
