\n The Nets\u2019 coaching search has gone from prospective to in-progress.<\/p>\n

Interim coach Jacque Vaughn officially interviewed for the job, and left ownership \u201cimpressed\u201d according to the Athletic. The Post confirmed the initial support, but sources wouldn\u2019t say how many other candidates had spoken with ownership.<\/p>\n

Spurs icon Gregg Popovich is the first option if GM Sean Marks \u2014 like Vaughn, a Popovich prot\u00e9g\u00e9 \u2014 can pry the 71-year-old out of San Antonio. Clippers assistant Tyronn Lue has a pre-existing relationship with Kyrie Irving and is reportedly also a top candidate for Philadelphia, New Orleans and possibly Houston if Mike D\u2019Antoni is let go.<\/p>\n

But The Post has reported Vaughn is going to get every opportunity to claim the permanent job. And the Athletic reported even if the Nets go in another direction, they still want to keep the 45-year-old in the fold in \u201csome capacity.\u201d That would certainly be easier in the unlikely event that Marks can lure the five-time champion Popovich to Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Vaughn \u2014 who has been a Spurs player, assistant and scout \u2014 was brought to Brooklyn as an assistant. He took over when the Nets parted ways with Kenny Atkinson in March, going 7-3 \u2014 including 5-3 in the restart to guide the Nets to a seventh-place finish in the East and playoff matchup versus Toronto.<\/p>\n

Ownership meeting with Vaughn is noteworthy. That could be owner Joe Tsai, or Oliver Weisberg, the alternate governor of the Nets and vice chairman of BSE Global. But when previous owner Mikhail Prokhorov hired Lionel Hollins, Atkinson\u2019s predecessor, the two never met in person, according to a league source.<\/p>\n

Tsai \u2014 who signed Irving and Kevin Durant, and has committed to paying luxury tax if needed to forge a contender \u2014 could be more involved.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear if Marks has requested permission to speak with Popovich. But that might be moot anyway. With Popovich essentially considering him family, Marks would know of his mentor\u2019s willingness to move before any such conversation ever needed to take place with Spurs CEO R.C. Buford or ownership.<\/p>\n

And Irina Pavlova \u2014 who was entrusted by Prokhorov with both the 2016 GM search that landed Marks, and to some extent the coaching search that found Atkinson \u2014 has said as much on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Nets know they won\u2019t be successful, they won\u2019t pursue him at all. It\u2019s a matter of one phone call to Pop to find out. Let\u2019s not pretend like he and Sean haven\u2019t spoken in 4 years,\u201d Pavlova tweeted.<\/p>\n

To clarify: \u201cpursue\u201d means formally ask the Spurs for permission to interview. If it gets that far, it means the deal is in the works. If Popovich informally indicates he is not leaving the Spurs, there won\u2019t be a request to interview and therefore no \u201cpursuit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pavlova added that if the Nets ever got to the point of actually officially requesting permission to interview Popovich \u2014 joking that \u201cinterview\u201d surely wouldn\u2019t be handled by HR \u2014 the deal would be essentially done.<\/p>\n

\u201c100%. \u2018Permission to interview\u2019 is just a technical term,\u201d Pavlova tweeted. \u201cThat\u2019s the point I\u2019ve been trying to make, perhaps not very eloquently. If Pop says he\u2019s open to it, it\u2019ll happ<\/a>en. Period.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barclays Center will serve as a polling site for the 2020 general<\/a> election, hosting voters for early voting, Oct. 24-Nov. 1 and on Election Day, Nov. 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nets and Barclays Center are committed to doing our part in providing a safe and convenient option for the community to vote in the upcoming general election,\u201d BSE CEO John Abbamondi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NYC Board of Elections has been a great partner during our discussions over the past two months to determine the safest way to host polling for early voting and Election Day at Barclays Center. We are proud to be a part of the incredible effort that many NBA arenas have shown to ensure that people exercise their voting power.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooklyn borough president Eric Adams added, \u201cThis year\u2019s election will be one of the most important in our city and country\u2019s history, and it comes amid a deadly pandemic that has upended every aspect of our daily lives. \u2026 I applaud Barclays Center for opening their space to New Yorkers who are looking to vote in person this year.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
