NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — If the Nets want arguably college basketball’s best coach to come back and try to fix the mess they’ve created, they are going to have to pay up in a big way.
At least, that’s what Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting.
Not long after the Nets fired head coach Lionel Hollins and reassigned general manager Billy King on Sunday in the wake of a brutal 10-27 start, Wojnarowski reported that Calipari, who coached the Nets from 1996-97 until being fired 20 games into the 1998-99 season, is quietly asking for a 10-year, $120-million contract to run an NBA team, presumably as both a head coach and general manager.
