[quote_simple] UPDATE: Ramona Shelburne | ESPNLosAngeles.com
June 5th – The Brooklyn Nets have also been informed by the Grizzlies that they have permission to interview Hollins, sources said, but Brooklyn has not asked again after its initial request was rebuffed shortly after Memphis’ elimination from the playoffs.[/quote_simple]
The latest Brooklyn Nets coaching search information of the day revolves around Lionel Hollins and not Brian Shaw.
The Indiana Pacers granted the Nets permission to speak to assistant coach Brian Shaw today although nothing official is setup on the schedule as of right now.
Hollins is a different case as the earlier reports that Brooklyn was given permission to speak to Hollins are in question. Today news has it from multiple sources below that is not the case and the Grizzlies have denied Brooklyn access to their free agent coach to be.
While Clippers were granted permission last night to talk with Hollins, the Nets have not received permission, according to a CA source
