Former NBA head coach Igor Kokoskov is apparently on the move again.
The Nets are expected to hire Kokoskov as one of Steve Nash’s top assistants, according to Marc Stein (Twitter link). Kokoskov was on Jason Kidd‘s staff with the Mavericks this season.
Brooklyn is looking to change things up after its first-round flameout.
Kokoskov was hired in September to join Kidd in Dallas. He was coming off a stint as the head coach of EuroLeague team Fenerbahçe. Kokoskov has served as an assistant for eight different NBA teams over the last two decades and was the Suns’ head coach for the 2018/19 season.
I’m not sure who he’s replacing as a top assistant. Amaré Stoudemire left, but he was a part-time, player development assistant.
Maybe it mike d his former HC . I knew he left . I don’t think they had a top assistant after
Potential first then money
Compare to Kenny Atkinson, maybe the hottest June to October 2022
