Despite the Nets disappointing season, Steve Nash remains safe as Brooklyn’s head coach, Marc Stein reports. Essentially, he writes, the franchise believes so much of what happened was simply beyond his control.
One source close to the situation told me over the weekend that he thinks Nash is likely to avoid being rendered management’s fall guy for the Nets’ meek playoff showing, noting how much madness (and, frankly, absurdity) that the former Hall of Fame point guard faced during his second season as a head coach.
Stein also enlisted Adrian Wojnarowski in his reporting on Nash, if more by omission than commission.
