Mike D’Antoni joins Brooklyn Nets coaching staff

Former Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni has found his new NBA home.

According to sources, Mike D’Antoni will join Steve Nash’s coaching staff in Brooklyn with the Nets.

Mike D’Antoni and Ime Udoka are finalizing deals to become assistant coaches under Steve Nash with the Brooklyn Nets, sources tell ESPN. Together, D’Antoni and Nash were the architects of the Seven Seconds or Less Offense with the Phoenix Suns in the mid-2000’s.

It’s a natural fit for D’Antoni to join the Nets after coaching Nash and fellow assistant Amar’e Stoudemire for six seasons in Phoenix with the Suns.
