Got me to thinking that person might be an assistant on one of those finals teams, or it's someone under contract waiting for the NBA calendar year end, whatever that might encompass. At any rate, with a little over a week before the draft, the Mavs have no coach. Surely that person is already identified and communicating with the Mavs brain trust.
I had that thought, too, but the Magic made their hiring of Sweeney official a couple of weeks back, and he's an assistant for the Spurs. That doesn't mean there isn't a coach on one of those teams the Mavs are hoping to hire, but if it was official or even close, their proximity to every NBA reporter in the world over the past couple of weeks would've made it even more likely to get announced, I'm guessing.
