Marc Iavaroni, assistant coach of the Suns, is expected to become a head coach this offseason.

Iavaroni said if Phoenix has a break between playoff series and a team asks for an interview, he?ll do so. Five teams currently have openings: Charlotte, Indiana, Memphis, Sacramento and Seattle.

Iavaroni stressed, however, he has not been contacted by any team. He said his agent is talking to GMs and relaying the information to him.

?My goal as an assistant coach was to help a head coach get a championship,? Iavaroni said. ?That?s the way I want to leave.?
