While Joe Dumars allowed Pistons' Assistant Coach Terry Porter to interview with the Phoenix Suns about their coaching position, he will not grant the Bulls the same access to fellow assistant Michael Curry, leaving GM John Paxson no choice but to move on in his search, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune is reporting.

The Bulls received permission to talk to Jazz assistant Tyrone Corbin and will also seek permission to interview Lakers' assistant Brian Shaw.
