CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Brian Shaw may be close to becoming the Cavaliers next
head coach but it is not done yet.
According to sources, Shaw had a positive interview with the team Monday
and early Tuesday and he emerged as the frontrunner to replace Mike Brown.
Shaw has impressed the Cavs with not only his focus on defense and knowle-
dge of how the triangle offense would work with LeBron James, but also his
confidence in dealing with players because of his 14-year history in the
league.
But Cavs sources said Tuesday morning that Shaw had not been formally offe-
red the job and was not close to finalizing a contract with the team.
騎士還沒有正式開合約給Shaw。
AOL Fanhouse and the Los Angeles Times reported that Shaw was close to acce-
pting the job. The Times quoted Shaw's agent, L.A.-based attorney Jerome
Stanley, as saying Shaw was close to an agreement.
但根據Fanhouse和LA Times兩家的報導，Shaw已經非常接近這個位置了。 LA Times引述
Shaw經紀人的話說Shaw幾乎已經接受這個職位了。
The Cavs do want to have a coach in place by Thursday, the start of free
agency, and it is likely they want to make the decision today. The signs
point to Shaw being that man.
