Who is Kyrie Irving’s favorite coach? The Athletic thinks that’s important

Alex Schiffer leads a group of writers for The Athletic in a roundtable discussion of who the Nets might choose as their next coach. Never mind that Sean Marks has said he’s likely to hold off the search until the season continues or is put to bed.

For whatever reason, whether the discussion group is tilted toward writers who know Kyrie Irving or because Irving has been accused of being as a coach killer, much of the conversation dealt with what the Nets guard might be happy with. After all, as one of the writers, Joe Vardon, points out, of all the coaches Irving has played for since his rookie year in 2011 (six of them), only two were not fired while he was on the team.
