Kyle Ringo of the Rocky Mountain News reports that the Nuggets will have a head coach in place by July 19th if everything goes as planned. Denver GM Kiki Vandeweghe interviewed ex-Nugget Alex English for the job yesterday.

English interviewed Thursday night in Denver for the position and said he came away feeling confident about the experience. He also said Vandeweghe told him he planned to have a coach in place before the beginning of the Rocky Mountain Revue summer league, which runs July 19-27 in Salt Lake City.

Ohm Youngmisuk of the New York Daily News reports that Vandeweghe just received permission from Nets? president Rod Thorn to talk to New Jersey assistant coach Eddie Jordan.

Vandeweghe said he plans to call Jordan next week but likely will not bring the Nets assistant in for an interview until after the June 26 draft. Sources say the Nuggets are strongly considering Jordan for the job. They are also looking at Dallas assistant Donn Nelson, Clyde Drexler, Alex English, Cincinnati coach Bob Huggins and Milwaukee assistant Terry Stotts, among others.
