Built Ford Tough Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 P.J. Carlesimo is a strong candidate to join Avery Johnson's coaching staff in New Jersey, league sources tell Y! Sports. http://twitter.com/#!/WojYahooNBA/status/101668767372820480 I liked the hiring for the Sonics when they hired him to be their head coach. I liked the hiring when the Raptors added him as an assistaint to Triano last season. Both of these proved to be bad judgement on my part as Carlesimo's tenure with both of these franchies were very underwhelming and very short lived, so I don't expect great things or anything like that if the Nets do bring him in as an assistaint to Johnson. One thing that I will say is that him and Johnson do seem like they would mesh well together. Both are no nonsense kind of guys and have similar philosophies when it comes to coaching. I still wouldn't get anymore than marginally intrigued if he does end up with New Jersey, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
