As the Brooklyn Nets continue their search for a new head coach after Jacque Vaughn was fired in February, a possible candidate could be right across the East River. Per Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer ,
New York Knicks associate head coach Johnnie Bryant has been linked as a possible replacement for the Nets. "Knicks assistant Johnnie Bryant has been another name presented as a potential first-time head coaching candidate in Brooklyn, sources said," Fischer wrote. It would be Bryant's first head coaching position after a decade serving as an assistant. His coaching career began in 2012 when he was hired by the
Utah Jazz as a player development assistant. He was promoted to assistant coach in Utah before taking the
Job in New York in 2020. This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis. For more from Bleacher Report on this topic and from around the sports world, check out our B/R app , homepage and social feeds—including
