>There’s a growing sense around the league that Brooklyn will also consider some of the same younger, first-time head coaches as the Wizards and Hornets, in addition to experienced
​
>NBA personnel believe Brooklyn’s search will be wide-ranging, with less of a specific archetype of candidate compared to the strategy in Charlotte or Washington, where the focus will be on finding the right development-minded coaches to enhance a youth movement. The Nets, by all accounts, still hold aspirations of adding to a core that already features a complementary piece in [Mikal Bridges](https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/6021/). There could be a needle to thread of hiring an assistant that’s been playoff-tested, such as Fernandez or Young. Fernandez’s experience guiding Canada to the bronze medal of this summer’s FIBA World Cup, and his connections to multiple All-Star talents within the national team program, will bring added value for his candidacy. Young has earned the support and respect of [Phoenix](https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/phoenix/)’s star players, dating back to [Chris Paul](https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3930/)’s tenure with the Suns. [Knicks](https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/new-york/) assistant Johnnie Bryant has been another name presented as a potential first-time head coaching candidate in Brooklyn, sources said.

Horrible idea to go with a young and inexperienced coach.. that’s essentially Ollie
but they likely won’t get any super experienced and winning coaches there with the product they got now and the reputation that the team has.
Time to clean out the front office, gives some credibility to the fact that they want to really do things right and breathe new air into the organization.
They at this point have to go with the experience coach just to build a proper culture here again, stop looking for a lightening in bottle like you did with Kenny, that time has come and gone.
This was also said in the article…
“Experienced veterans like Mike Budenholzer and James Borrego harbor strong San Antonio connections to a Brooklyn front office that’s rife with former Spurs staffers, starting with general manager Sean Marks”
If we’re gonna get Bud, it’s because of the Pop tree alliance
Can we please have someone with NBA coaching experiences
Bud is so clearly the choice here (if we can’t rehire Atkinson, which I know won’t happen but a man can dream lol)
Apparently Johnnie Bryant is friends with Donovan Mitchell
