ATLANTA (AP) -- The Atlanta Hawks have officially named Larry Drew as their new head coach.
The Hawks made the announcement Sunday, two days after 11Alive broke the story locally that the team was closing in on an agreement with Mike Woodson's top assistant. This is Drew's first head coaching job.
Woodson coached the Hawks for six seasons but was fired last month after a second-round sweep by the Orlando Magic. Drew emerged as the new coach from a search that also included former head coaches Dwane Casey and Avery Johnson.
The Hawks will formally introduce Drew at a news conference Monday.
