The Nuggets continue to take their time in the head coaching search, but might they be close to a hire?
The Nuggets fired Brian Shaw back on March 3rd, and the team has been looking for a head coach to fill that void ever since. The Nuggets have had interviews and conversations with the following people: Melvin Hunt, Mike D'Antoni, Mike Malone, Mike Woodson, Don Newman, and perhaps some others too.
Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski first reported that the Nuggets had a spoken with ex-Kings head coach Mike Malone on June 3rd:
Along with D'Antoni and Hunt, ex-Sacramento Kings coach Michael Malone has had conversations with Connelly and could soon emerge with a sit-down interview, league sources said.
