Larry Drew is a finalist for the head coach position with the Bucks and will have a second interview with the team Wednesday, he told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Drew remains under contract as the Hawks head coach until June 30. He received permission from general manager Danny Ferry to pursue other opportunities while the organization considers its future direction.
Drew had an initial interview with the Bucks on May 20. He is now one of two to receive a second interview. Lakers assistant Steve Clifford was scheduled to have an interview Tuesday, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal, but he has reportedly agreed to terms to become the Bobcats next head coach. The paper also reported that Rockets assistant Kelvin Sampson is the other finalist and he will also interview Wednesday.
Ferry recently told the AJC that he would interview other head coach candidates. He said Drew would be under consideration to retain the job he has held for the past three seasons.
In his initial interview with the Bucks, Drew spoke to Bucks owner Herb Kohl, general manager John Hammond, assistant general manager Jeff Weltman, director of scouting Billy McKinney and director of player personnel Dave Babcock.
Drew, 55, has a 128-102 record in three years with the Hawks and led the team to the playoffs each season.
