“Any time you hire a coach, you can say it’s a risk because there’s a chance it may not work. But I just feel comfortable and confident with him,” Nets general manager Billy King said. Kidd outlasted his toughest competition, Pacers assistant Brian Shaw, and received a three-year deal, with a possible fourth, for a potential $10 million. Kidd declined to reveal the staff he still is putting in place. But before he could compile a staff, he had to interview. “I went in not sure [but was impressed by] his knowledge of our roster, his knowledge of other teams,” King said. “He’d talk about this play that such and such a team runs and he named it and said it would be good for Brook [Lopez]. He drew up a [Spurs] play: ‘They run this and I could see Brook doing this. And we’ve got to get Deron [Williams] to do this.’ New York Post

The Nets head coaching search eventually filtered down to two candidates, Jason Kidd and Indiana Pacers assistant Brian Shaw, said general manager Billy King. In actuality at the end, there was only one, Kidd, even while Shaw went through a lengthy interview on Wednesday. “I’m disappointed because I did not speak to Billy directly but I did give him permission to talk to him and wrote him a note letting him know what I thought [about Shaw],” said Pacers president of basketball operations Donnie Walsh Thursday. “He’s going to be a great head coach. Great head coach.” New York Post

Sources told ESPN.com that Rivers is highly intrigued by the idea of coaching the Clippers in the event that he and the Celtics part company after nine seasons together and one championship in 2008. Sources say that the Clippers, meanwhile, would immediately vault Rivers to the top of their list if he became available as they continue a coaching search that, to this point, has focused on Brian Shaw, Byron Scott and Lionel Hollins.

The Brooklyn Nets have chosen Jason Kidd as their next coach, according to a source close to the process. Brian Shaw has been notified he is not getting the job, one source close to the process told ESPN.com's Ramona Shelburne. Sources told ESPN.com that, although Shaw had been targeted by the Nets for some time and made a strong presentation during a five-hour interview Wednesday, Kidd convinced Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov and his advisers that he is ready to jump directly into the lead seat on an NBA bench despite the fact that he has no prior coaching experience.
