Willie Green, Charles Lee Among Top Candidates To Coach Pelicans

Suns assistant Willie Green and Bucks assistant Charles Lee are "prominent" candidates in the Pelicans' head coaching search, according to Marc Stein (Twitter link). Earlier in the process, Nets assistant Jacque Vaughn was considered the frontrunner to replace Stan Van Gundy as New Orleans' new head coach, but he withdrew from consideration last week for family reasons. Now, it appears the Pelicans have their eye on two other veteran assistant coaches. New Orleans' own assistant, Fred Vinson, has also interviewed for the position, Stein notes.
