Calipari, Krzyzewski on Nets’ wish list?
As Louisville’s Rick Pitino is vehemently denying that he found some way to contact new New Jersey Nets owner Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov about taking over the team’s coaching responsibilities next year, the coaches on the team’s wish list are becoming known, according to the New York Daily News.
Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, who has led his team to three national titles, is apparently at the top of the list and former Nets coach John Calipari, who now coaches Kentucky, is also somewhere on the list.
One reason Krzyzewski is an attractive choice is because he also coaches the men’s national team, which means he’s worked with and has personal relations with such soon-to-be free agents as LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, Amar’e Stoudemire, and Carlos Boozer
