Report: Drew hasn't agreed to become Cavaliers' interim head coach
Associate head coach Larry Drew reportedly hasn't agreed to become the interim head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers following Tyronn Lue's dismissal Sunday, league sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.
While Drew is willing to take on the responsibilities of head coach as the organization mulls over its options, he's reportedly reluctant to take on the title for the rest of the campaign without an agreement in place to keep him on board beyond this season, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Drew amassed a 128-102 record (.557) across three seasons as coach of the Atlanta Hawks from 2010 through 2013. He then joined the Milwaukee Bucks in the same role, but was quickly replaced by Jason Kidd following a 15-win 2013-14 campaign.
He's been with the Cavaliers since 2014, guiding the team to an 8-1 record last season when Lue took a medical leave from March 19 through April 3.
Cleveland is winless at 0-6, with All-Star Kevin Love possibly out for the foreseeable future with a foot injury.
