Several NBA executives expect Jerry Stackhouse to soon interview for head coaching vacancies.

Stackhouse spent last season as an assistant with the Toronto Raptors and is head coach of Raptors 905 of the D-League this season.

Stackhouse was an 18-year NBA player and was a de facto player development coach during the final seasons of his career.

Stackhouse attended Tim Grgurich's coaching camp and has developed a reputation for his strong work ethic.
