Ettore Messina to be NBA’s first European-born head coach?
If the name Ettore Messina rings a bell it’s most likely because he was an assistant to Mike Brown in Los Angeles with the Lakers, before leaving to coach CSKA Moscow. This report comes from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.

Report: Nate McMillan, Atlanta Hawks Discuss Head Coaching Job
I think it’s safe to say that Larry Drew and Atlanta Hawks’ general manager Danny Ferry have an “open” professional relationship these days.
Drew is under contract through June, but Ferry has given him permission to talk to other teams while Ferry decides whether or not to extend Drew or bring in a coach of his own choosing (Drew was hired before Ferry took over as Hawks’...
Nate McMillan Interviews With Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks interviewed Nate McMillan for their head coaching job on Wednesday, according to sources.
Larry Drew remains under contract until June 30 and a final decision on whether he will be offered a new deal has yet to be determined.

New season, big changes for WNBA's Dream
ATLANTA The Atlanta Dream enter their 2013 campaign in search of a point guard. That's the reality after losing Lindsey Harding, via free agency.
One of the players they could be counting on to fill that role is rookie Alex Bentley, the top draft pick from this year's WNBA draft. Bentley was the first pick of the second round (Penn State).

Is Stan Van Gundy the Atlanta Hawks Next Head Coach?
Over the weekend the buzz around the Atlanta Hawks and their fans were rumors that the Hawks were going after Stan Van Gundy as their next head coach. The reason for pursuing Van Gundy was supposedly because he would give them a better shot at Dwight Howard (yeah, it stunned me too!). In more recent reports, Chris Vivlamore of AJC.com (Atlanta Hawks Beat Writer) is stating that...
Hawks still considering their coaching options
More than a week after getting bounced from the NBA playoffs, the Atlanta Hawks are still trying to figure out who's going to coach them next season.
It might be Larry Drew, their coach the last three seasons. It might be someone else, since general manager Danny Ferry inherited Drew from the previous regime and makes it clear he's looking at other options.
At the moment...

Taking a look at whether the Celtics have enough pieces to make a sign-and-trade work for Josh Smith
In a recent column, Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe had this to say about the Hawks handling of impending free agent Josh Smith this summer.
Atlanta coach Larry Drew is awaiting his fate, but with the Hawks having eight free agents, expect GM Danny Ferry to make wholesale changes. And the Hawks likely won’t allow Josh Smith to walk without compensation. To attract more suitors...
Hawks To Seek Sign-And-Trade Scenarios For Josh Smith
The Atlanta Hawks enter the offseason with Josh Smith's free agency amongst their most pressing issues.
The Hawks will likely seek sign-and-trade packages involving Smith in order to receive assets in return.
The Hawks also have cap space and are expected to pursue Dwight Howard.
Smith will be an unrestricted free agent.
Report: Atlanta Hawks Want Stan Van Gundy to Be Their Head Coach
I think this would be a good landing spot for Van Gundy.
The Hawks have underachieved for years, even though they have solid talent, Van Gundy gets the best out of marginal players, so it might be a perfect fit.
With Larry Drew likely done as head coach of the Atlanta Hawks, general manager Danny Ferry has made Stan Van Gundy his top target to take over the team, Yahoo! Sports reported...
For Hawks' Drew, longer wait could bring better news
Monday passed without any news on the fate of Hawks coach Larry Drew.
As general manager Danny Ferry promised in a press conference on Saturday, he would take some time to decide the fate of the coach whose contract is set to expire in the coming days.
For his part, Drew did not seem optimistic on Friday after the Hawks were eliminated in the first round of the NBA playoffs in...

Video: Indiana Pacers Paul George crushes the Hawks at the rim in Game 6
The Indiana Pacers eliminated the Atlanta Hawks in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinals series on Friday.
The game had a see-saw feel to it as the Hawks attempted to stay close to the Pacers who at one point held a 19-point lead in the second period.
Paul George put four points into the team collection plate. The most vital came off this freewheeling dunk.
