Atlanta Hawks CEO Steve Koonin joined Dukes & Bell to preview the Hawks-Bucks series plus answer the question on when will Nate McMillan have the interim tagged removed and officially be made the team’s next head coach?

When asked about when Nate McMillan could be officially named the team’s head coach.

“You and I have talked about this privately off the air,” Koonin said. “Nate asked one of the conditions of taking the job is we do this after the season concludes and I’m so pleased on June 23rd our season’s not over. It is for 26 other teams, it’s not over for us.

“So everything good happens to people who deserve it and will happen in time.”
