Per a report from Troy Hanson, the Sacramento Kings confirmed this evening that they have scheduled an interview with the former Kings Head Coach. The interview will be conducted early this coming week, prior to Geoff Petrie heading back to Europe.

This was widely expected, however, the timing of the interview is not. Earlier this week, it was reported by the Kings themselves that they would not be looking into the coaching candidacy until Geoff returned from his second scouting trip to Europe, which was expected to be around May 21st.

Rumors are swirling that the Kings quickly sped up this process as rumblings continue out of Philadelphia that the Sixers are very interested in hiring Jordan.
