Rod Thorn, the Nets' team president, says Brown 'did a tough job very well.'
Could ex-Cavaliers coach Mike Brown rejoin LeBron James in New Jersey? There are six NBA teams looking for head coaches: the Cleveland Cavaliers, New Jersey Nets, Atlanta Hawks, New Orleans Hornets, Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Clippers.
Already, reporter Dave D'Alessandro of NJ.com writes about former Cavaliers coach Mike Brown's possible future.
Rod Thorn, the Nets team president and general manager, has not conducted an interview yet, but he has talked to several candidates by phone.
And will you give a definitive number, once and for all, about how many guys you’ll sit down with, we asked.
“Well….say four to six,” he replied.
And so -- we asked ever so cleverly -- is there a chance that figure was increased by one just this morning? (Cavaliers fire coach Mike Brown after five seasons)
“Maybe,” he said with a telling laugh.
Good coach, we suggested.
“He certainly is,” Thorn agreed. “He did a tough job very well.”
