The process is being delayed by a trip to Spain. Kahn headed there on Monday to try and help Ricky Rubio negotiate a buyout of his contract with his Spanish pro team.
Kahn has interviewed more than a dozen candidates for the position after deciding not to bring back Kevin McHale. He says he will narrow the field down to three or four finalists before beginning the second round of interviews.
Kahn declined to discuss specific candidates. Those known to be on the initial list are ESPN analyst Mark Jackson, Portland assistant Monty Williams and Houston assistant Elston Turner.
