What happened: The opening is the head-coaching role with the Texas Legends, Dallas' G League affiliate. Mitchell has worked with Canada's national-team staff and held NBA assistant roles in Charlotte, Toronto and Milwaukee.

Why it matters: A hire would put a coach with NBA and international experience in charge of Dallas' player-development pipeline. The choice will shape the affiliate's direction entering the 2026-27 season.

What to watch: Dallas' final choice and the timing of any agreement are the next developments.
