The Brooklyn Nets are looking for answers for their open head coaching vacancy since dismissing Lionel Hollins on this past Sunday.
The Nets are 10-28 and have lost 8 of their last 10 games, not to mention are on a 5 game losing streak. It was inevitable to think changes were not coming to the head coaching position, but also reassigned Billy King from being general manager, leaving another important void to be filled.
It’s been reported that former Chicago Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau has been contacted to coach the Nets.
The Nets have reached out to Tom Thibodeau about coming to Brooklyn to coach their team, per NBA sources.

Thibodeau would be a great start in transforming the Nets, who were in the NBA playoffs last season losing in 6 games to the Atlanta Hawks in the first round.
One has to wonder what it would take for Thibodeau to accept the Nets head coaching job.
