Mike Woodson, an assistant coach for the Detroit Pistons, has been contacted by the Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors about possible interviews for their vacant head-coaching positions.  

Woodson has logged eight seasons as an NBA assistant, and was interviewed twice each by the Sixers, Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks last off-season.

Woodson and Seattle Sonics associate coach Dwayne Casey could be the leading candidates to fill the Raptors? position, according to sources.

"He's a great coach," Pistons head coach Larry Brown said about Woodson.
