Hall of Famer says he might return if the situation is right.
Lenny WilkensNow that the Cleveland Cavaliers have fired coach Mike Brown, many names of potential replacements will surface over the next few days.
SI.com reporter Frank Hughes writes that since Hall of Famer Lenny Wilkens, 72, has agreed to serve as a consultant to the South Korean National Team, it could be a precursor to Wilkens returning to the league.
Wilkens says:
"If the situation was right, I certainly would consider [coaching again]," Wilkens said. "I have not explored it. But Cleveland certainly has a good team. So does Chicago. A few teams are good and need coaches. Let's see how everything shakes out and then we'll see."
Wilkens coached the Cavaliers from 1986-93. He retired from coaching in 2005 after 32 seasons in the NBA with 1,332 career victories.
