CLEVELAND, Ohio -- There is mutual interest between former Memphis coach Lionel Hollins and the Cavaliers, an NBA source said on Monday, but no interview has been scheduled as the Cavs' search for a head coach to replace Mike Brown entered its second week.

Hollins, the longtime Portland Trail Blazer player who had a 196-159 coaching record in Memphis, has been contacted about most of the NBA openings, the source said, except those in New York and Los Angeles (Lakers). The Cavs interest in Hollins was first reported in the Minneapolis Star Tribune in a story about the Wolves coaching search.

Meanwhile, in Indianapolis, Pacers associate head coach Nate McMillan, who had successful head coaching stints in Seattle and Portland and could be on the Cavs list, told the Indianapolis Star he was focusing on the opportunity to be in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat and had not reached out to his agent about any of the openings.

Over the weekend, The Plain Dealer reported that former Cavalier guard Kevin Ollie would not be a candidate for the Cavs job and likely would remain head coach at national champion UConn.
