Mikhail Prokhorov believes Jason Kidd will be a "star" as the Nets head coach.
"The point is that there are people who are born coaches," Prokhorov said. "And it is known that Jason Kidd was in fact a player-coach on many teams. And he has been training for a long time. He has played under many coaches, and he has always wanted to be a coach." Prokhorov went on to call Kidd a budding star that will help the Nets "win the NBA." No pressure, Jason.

Jason Kidd will coach in the NBA Summer League in Orlando next month.
"I think it's the best thing to get right into it," Kidd said. "I know that a lot of times head coaches don't coach summer league. But this gives me time to work on different parts of the game, learning to be a coach, also my philosophy and plays and the defensive stuff that I'll get to put in as my system." It makes a lot of sense for Kidd and the training wheels in summer league shouldn't hurt him.
