Terry Stotts Said to Be Set for Interview in Mavericks’ Coaching Search

Reports say his past work with Dallas and recent Golden State role give him the experience the team may want as it evaluates many candidates.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report that Terry Stotts is expected to receive an interview for the Dallas Mavericks’ vacant head coach post, though no hire has been confirmed.
  • The Mavericks opened the search after Jason Kidd was fired, and early candidate movement has already occurred with San Antonio assistant Sean Sweeney taking a job with Orlando.
  • Stotts’ resume includes a prior assistant stint with the Mavericks, a long head-coaching run in Portland, and two recent seasons as an assistant with the Golden State Warriors.
  • League coverage describes the Dallas search as large and fluid, with Stotts one of roughly a dozen possible candidates and decisions likely shaped by the team’s young core, including Cooper Flagg.
  • If Dallas interviews Stotts, the choice could signal a preference for experienced, steady leadership to guide a young roster and manage veteran players while the franchise continues a wider coaching reshuffle across the NBA.
