SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz are in the midst of an intense first-round playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but assistant coach Igor Kokoskov has been doing some multitasking.
Kokoskov has reportedly interviewed for the vacant Phoenix Suns head-coaching job.
Kokoskov, along with former Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Kevin McHale and current San Antonio Spurs assistant James Borrego are also serious candidates, according to 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station’s John Gambadoro.
Jazz head coach Quin Snyder is happy to witness Kokoskov finally receive this recognition as a trusted sideline leader with this opportunity.
