Behind the mics: Steve Nash hire wins kudos all around

“Let me take you back to Wednesday night,” he told WFAN’s Sal Licata. “Around 10 pm, I got a call from somebody who’s in the league. They told me, ‘Keep any eye on Steve Nash for the Nets.’ And I chuckled. I laughed out loud initially. ‘Yeah, great.’ That was it. I moved on with my night.
“Next day, I wake up, I’m doing some things around the house and my phone starts blowing up on Thursday morning. And I checked my messages and what did we find out, it was indeed real that Steve Nash is the next head coach of the Nets. “
