Lloyd Pierce, who talked to the Hawks yesterday about their head coaching job, will receive a second interview, tweets Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated.
Pierce, an assistant with the Sixers for the past four seasons, previously worked with Atlanta GM Travis Schlenk in Golden State. He also spent time as an assistant coach with the Cavaliers and Grizzlies before coming to Philadelphia.
Pierce is the first known candidate to receive a second interview with the Hawks, who have also met with Celtics assistant Jay Larranaga, Hornets assistant Stephen Silas, Warriors assistant Jarron Collins and Trail Blazers assistant Nate Tibbetts, along with David Fizdale, who will be the Knicks’ next coach. Spurs assistants Ime Udoka and James Borrego are also rumored to be candidates.

Who?
For some reason the Hawks are trying to get the lowest salary head coach in the history of the NBA. Have no idea what they’re doing there I guess it’s a rebuild and they want a rookie guy to see it through for 3 years. I understand but it’s going to be tough for the fans.
