Jason Kidd has emerged as the strong frontrunner to become the Brooklyn Nets head coach and could be hired before the end of the week, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Jason Kidd’s reunion could be complete by the end of the week. (AP)Nets ownership has told league associates that it wants a “fresh face,” as coach, and the hiring of Kidd would give them a star quality that comes with significant risk for a franchise with a mandate to compete for championships in the short term.
Talks on a possible contract for Kidd are under way, sources said.[/quote_simple]
REACTION:
But one source close to process says J-Kidd has "natural advantage" in faceoff with B-Shaw given his star power and previous history w/Nets

With Brian Shaw, he of course could himself pull out of the interview, especially if he knows he'll get the Clippers job.

Several league insiders I've talked to are high on Kidd coaching the Nets. D-Will should flourish w/ Kidd, but will team success come soon?
