League sources confirmed on Wednesday that the Pelicans are waiting to see if
the Chicago Bulls and coach Tom Thibodeau are going to part ways. If
Thibodeau is let go by the Bulls, he could possibly emerge as a candidate for
the Pelicans' job.
联盟内部人士在周三证实, 鹈鹕正等待看公牛与Thibodeau是否会分道扬镳. 假如公牛
放弃了Thibodeau, 那他可能会是鹈鹕教练的候选人之一.
In June 2010, Thibodeau was a finalist for the then-named New Orleans Hornets
head coaching job with Williams. But the franchise turned its attention to
Williams after Thibodeau, who was a Boston Celtics assistant at the time,
indicated he planned to pursue the vacant Bulls job, which he took.
2010年的六月, Thibodeau原本是纽奥良黄蜂教练的最终候选者, 但他们之后将将注意力
转到Monty Williams上, 显示著那时塞尔提克的助教Tom Thibodeau正打算追求公牛
空缺的教练位置.
Although sources have not confirmed, potential candidates for the Pelicans'
vacancy could include former Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks, former
Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson, Warriors current lead assistant
Alvin Gentry, Pacers assistant and former Trail Blazers head coach Nate
McMillan, former Sacramento Kings and Pelicans assistant Mike Malone, Chicago
Bulls assistant Adrian Griffin,University of Kentucky coach John Calipari,
former New York Knicks and Houston Rockets Jeff Van Gundy.
虽然尚未有消息人士证实, 但潜在的教练候选人包含了前雷霆教头Scott Brooks, 前勇士
教头Mark Jackson, 勇士现任助教Alvin Gentry, 溜马助教, 也是前拓荒者教头
Nate McMillan, 前国王教头及前鹈鹕助教Mike Malone, 公牛助教Adrian Griffin,
肯塔基大学教头John Calipari, 前尼克及火箭教头Jeff Van Gundy.
Contacted by telephone on Wednesday, Van Gundy declined to comment about the
Pelicans' vacancy and whether he would be interested.
''I just don't want to comment anything about a coaching opening,'' Van Gundy
said. ''It just makes me uncomfortable.''
在周三与Van Gundy的通话中, 他拒绝对鹈鹕的教练空缺做评论, 也拒绝评论是否对此职位
感兴趣.
"我不想对教练职缺做任何评论," Van Gundy说. "这让我不太自在."
Demps said on Tuesday the Pelicans' coaching search would start immediately
but he didn't have a time frame on making a hire. Demps also didn't disclose
specifics on whether they are pushing to hire a former or curent NBA coach or
would consider a top-notch college coach like Calipari or an NBA assistant.
Demps(鹈鹕GM)在周二表示, 寻找教练的工作马上就会开始, 但对于正式雇用还没有个时间
表. 他也没详细表明是否会雇用现任及前任的NBA教练, 或者考虑大学顶尖教练以及NBA里
的助教.
He also said they have not established a short list of potential candidates
to pursue yet.
他也表示, 他们目前还没有想追求的教练候选人.
''Hopefully, we can find someone to take us to the next level,'' Demps
said.''Obviously, I think we're just going to find a coach that we feel is
good for us. We want to get to the point where we can compete for
championships. I feel it's very stable here right now.''
"希望我们能找到使我们更上一层楼的人," Demps说道. "显然的, 我想我们会找合适我们
的教练. 我们想直接达到竞争总冠军的那步.
