Former Utah Jazz guard Jeff Hornacek is next up today on Bulls general manager John Paxson's busy schedule of interviews with head-coaching candidates.

Former Minnesota Timberwolves coach Dwane Casey was at the Berto Center on Thursday to talk with Paxson. Casey could land on the staff of new Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle if he doesn't get the Bulls' job.

Paxson met with fourth-year Jazz assistant and former DePaul star Tyrone Corbin on Wednesday, and former NBA coach John Lucas told KRIV-TV in Houston that he has spoken to Paxson about the job and will interview.

Lucas has a 174-258 career record in six seasons coaching the San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Hornacek, a La Grange native who starred at Lyons Township High School and Iowa State, interviewed with Phoenix Suns GM Steve Kerr on Thursday about succeeding Mike D'Antoni. Corbin is due to meet with Kerr today.

Hornacek is a name I haven't heard in a while, didn't even know he was interested in coaching. He is interesting, but I really doubt he gets the job. Dwane Casey would be a very solid choice for the Bulls however, and I am convinced that he will be a very good coach in this league. He never got a fair chance in Minnesota, there were rumors that McHale wanted him gone midway through the first season. A couple years later I am still upset about that move.
