Unfortunately the highlight of Tyronn Lue’s career is that unforgettable moment when Allen Iverson stepped over him during the 2001 NBA Finals. Well now he has the chance to change that. He was previously mentioned as a possible head coaching candidate for the Knicks but now he has a more viable opportunity, securing an interview to become the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
via Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports:
Los Angeles Clippers assistant Tyronn Lue will interview for the Cleveland Cavaliers’ head-coaching job late next week, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
The Cavaliers had closely examined the college ranks for a head coach, and are now looking at the landscape of NBA assistant coaches and former head coaches. …
In five years as an assistant under coach Doc Rivers with the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Clippers, Lue has developed into one of the NBA’s most well-regarded young head-coaching prospects.
Alvin Gentry and Vinny Del Negro were also among the names mentioned for the job.
