Del Negro dines with Sterling, Clippers brass
Former Chicago Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro dined with Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and front-office executives on Tuesday night to discuss the team's coaching vacancy, sources with knowledge of the meeting told Yahoo! Sports.
Dallas Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey, who interviewed with the Clippers on Monday, and Del Negro appear to be the top two candidates for the job. Sources said a decision could be made soon.
Clippers president Andy Roeser and general manager Neil Olshey also attended Tuesday's dinner with Sterling and Del Negro.
Casey went 53-69 as head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves from 2005-07. Del Negro was fired by the Bulls in May after going 82-82 in two seasons.
