The Denver Nuggets have interviewed David Vanterpool, an assistant coach for the Portland Trail Blazers, according to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.
Here is what Woj had to say about the chances of Vanterpool getting the gig:
Portland Trail Blazers assistant David Vanterpool interviewed for the Denver Nuggets' head coaching job, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Interim coach Melvin Hunt remains a strong candidate for the Denver job, along with Michael Malone and Mike D'Antoni, league sources said.
While Vanterpool isn't considered a frontrunner to replace Brian Shaw, Denver general manager Tim Connelly's discussion with Vanterpool in recent days is reflective of the respect Vanterpool's earned in three seasons an NBA assistant coach.
