Chris Ford, a pro scout with the Philadelphia 76ers who was interim coach five years ago, has interviewed for the team's head coaching job.

A person with knowledge of the interview said Friday that Ford was one of two candidates team president Ed Stefanski did not announce. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because Ford's interview was not disclosed.

Stefanski also did not say he had talked to Villanova coach Jay Wright, who acknowledged the interview but withdrew from consideration on Friday.

Ford has head coaching experience with the Celtics, Bucks, Clippers and 76ers.

The team announced four other candidates interviewed: Former Wizards coach Eddie Jordan, Celtics assistant Tom Thibodeau, Lakers assistant Kurt Rambis, and Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey.
