According to the Oregonian, Phoenix Suns assistant coach Marc Iavaroni will become the next Trail Blazers coach after being offered the position late Thursday.

"You have to have the whole package," Iavaroni said last week. "I think I have been in diverse system, and I'm confident in what I have been exposed to, what I think works and how flexible you have to be."

Blazers general manager John Nash has insisted that the job has not yet been offered and owner Paul Allen has suggested the team might wait until after the June 28 draft.  However, according to sources close to the team, Iavaroni is expected to take the job later today.
