The Atlanta Hawks have committed to Larry Drew for one more season. The team announced Friday it is exercising its option on the coach's contract for next season. Asked if apprehension comes with the contract not being extended beyond the 2012-13 season, Drew said: "What do you think?" Drew would prefer a longer commitment from the team. "You know, you can look at it one of two ways," Drew said. "Certainly, is it the perfect situation? No. I've had a lot of dialogue with my representative about the situation and at this point we're just going to move forward." After advancing to the second round of the playoffs for three straight years, the Hawks were eliminated in the first round by the Celtics. Drew earned praise from Hawks general manager Rick Sund for leading the team to a 40-26 record despite being without All-Star center Al Horford for all but 11 games of the regular season. Horford returned in Game 4 of the Celtics series. Read more: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7946317/atlanta-hawks-commit-larry-drew-coach-one-more-season
