CLEVELAND (AP) — A person familiar with Cleveland’s search says the Cavaliers are in “serious talks” with Byron Scott to be their coach.

After completing interviews with several candidates including Los Angeles Lakers assistant Brian Shaw, the Cavalier have decided to “move in the Scott direction,” said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the process is supposed to remain confidential.

The person says Cleveland has not yet offered Scott its job. “Nothing is done,” the person said.

Scott, a two-time NBA coach of the year, was believed to be a leading candidate to replace Phil Jackson in Los Angeles if he retired. Jackson is expected to announce his plans later this week.
