The Blazers are surveying the coaching market during a sensitive stage of the season. Stein reported that the franchise wants a clearer picture of its options while Tiago Splitter continues to lead the team, posting a 40-37 record as interim head coach so far.
The situation is also tied to Chauncey Billups’ status after the NBA placed him on indefinite leave amid a federal gambling investigation. At the same time, Portland is currently eighth in the Western Conference, which adds further weight to the franchise’s coaching evaluations.
New owner Tom Dundon had already hinted that changes could be considered, saying the organization is not yet where he believes it should be. That makes this a potentially pivotal stretch for Portland’s next decision on the bench.
