For now it looks like they are going to look internally for their next head coach. One of the assistants, J.B. Bickerstaff, as the interim head coach. It will be the first time the career assistant serves as a head coach.

J.B. Bickerstaff, will become interim head coach, league sources tell Yahoo. Assistant Chris Finch will become associate head coach.
