Lionel Hollins was officially introduced as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets on the heels of Jason Kidd being traded to the Bucks. Even though Kidd denies the rumors, reports suggest the split ultimately stemmed from Kidd seeking more power.
When introduced, Hollins seemingly took a playful jab at Kidd:
“I’m a basketball coach,” Hollins said. “I don’t want to do [general manager] Billy [King’s] job. I don’t want to do anybody else’s job in the organization but the one I’m hired to do. That’s important to me. …
“You see a few coaches have gotten more power where they’ve gotten president and coach,” Hollins said. “That’s not my goal.”
