    Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Dwane Casey, like former Mavericks coach Avery Johnson before him, has completed two interviews for the Atlanta Hawks' coaching job.

    NBA coaching sources told ESPN.com that Casey met Wednesday in Atlanta with members of the Hawks' ownership group after an initial interview last weekend with Hawks general manager Rick Sund.

    Sources said Johnson, who has worked as an ESPN analyst for the past two seasons since leaving the Mavericks in 2008, had separate sitdowns with Sund and Hawks owners earlier last week.

    Atlanta has not ruled out interviewing additional candidates and has also considered current Hawks assistant coach Larry Drew and Portland Trail Blazers assistant coach Dean Demopoulos in its search to replace Mike Woodson. However, only Johnson and Casey have been interviewed twice by the team since it announced May 14 that Woodson would not be receiving a new contract.
