Neil Olshey has been working month-to-month under terms of a contract that expired last fall.
Clippers owner Donald Sterling is reportedly apprehensive committing a long-term contract to Olshey after being forced to pay former coach and general manager Mike Dunleavy over $13 million in their salary dispute following his dismissal in 2010.
Olshey reportedly earns less than $500,000 a year.
