FILE - Utah Jazz coach Johnnie Bryant looks on during the second half of an NBA summer league basketball game against the Boston Celtics, July 5, 2016, in Salt Lake City. The Cleveland Cavaliers added two more candidates to its coaching search Friday, May 31, 2024, receiving permission to interview current New York Knicks assistant head coach Bryant and Miami Heat assistant Chris Quinn , a person familiar with the process told The Associated Press.
Bickerstaff was fired one week after Cleveland was knocked out in the second round of the NBA playoffs by Boston. The Cavs believe they have their pieces to compete for a championship and want a new voice. Mitchell can sign a long-term extension with Cleveland this summer, and Bryant’s hiring could seal the deal.
Bickerstaff’s dismissal was somewhat shocking since he had guided the Cavs through the early stages of a rebuild and had made improvement each season.
