Kings To Interview Del Negro, Jackson, Mitchell
Three people with knowledge of the process tell The Associated Press that the Sacramento Kings plan to interview Vinny Del Negro, Mark Jackson and Sam Mitchell as they begin their search for a replacement for fired coach George Karl.
The three veteran coaches are part of the first wave of what is expected to be a long process featuring numerous candidates. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the team has not publicly disclosed the specifics of its search plans. The plans were first reported by ESPN.
Del Negro coached the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Clippers, Jackson coached the Golden State Warriors before Steve Kerr took over last season and Mitchell is a former coach of the year with Toronto who spent last season as the interim coach in Minnesota.
