As reported by Adrian Wojnarwoski of Yahoo! Sports, the Denver Nuggets reached an agreement with former Sacramento Kings Head Coach Michael Malone this morning. He will be the man to replace interim Head Coach Melvin Hunt moving forward. Portland Trail Blazers Assistant Coach David Vanterpool was also being considered for the position, but will now remain with the Portland Trail Blazers until another opportunity to move up presents itself.
Vanterpool has now interviewed for head coaching positions in two of the last three off-seasons, the first such process taking place in 2013 with the Philadelphia 76ers.
