Quick Glance: Top Assistant Coach Jordi Fernández Set to Lead Nets: Insiders

Regarded as one of the most talented assistant coaches in the NBA, Jordi Fernández, 41, is set to take on the role of head coach.

Insiders confirmed on Monday that the Nets are in the process of hiring associate head coach Jordi Fernández as their new head coach.

Following the departure of Jacque Vaughn on Feb. 19, Nets' management, Sean Marks and Joe Tsai, initiated a thorough coaching search, conducting interviews with a wide range of candidates.

In addition to Fernández, championship coach Mike Budenholzer and associate head coach Kevin Young emerged as finalists for the position, according to previous reports by The Athletic.

What is Reed Sheppard’s future with Kentucky basketball? New UK coach Mark Pope weighs in.

Quick Glance: Enthusiastic Kentucky Fans Welcome Mark Pope as New Wildcats Coach at Rupp Arena

Mark Pope's debut game as Kentucky's coach is still over six months away. However, the manner in which fans packed Rupp Arena for his unveiling as UK's new men's basketball coach would surprise those unfamiliar with the sport's calendar, considering the 2024-25 season doesn't commence until November.

Rupp Arena accommodates 20,500 spectators. The lower section of the venue features 10,000 theater-style seats, all of which were occupied. The upper section, with an additional 10,500 seats, took longer to fill, but by the time Pope was formally introduced at 4:54 p.m. on Sunday, not a single seat was vacant.

All of this to greet back a beloved figure.

"We witness these introductory press conferences frequently," Pope remarked. "No individual worldwide has ever witnessed a spectacle like this."

‘Man of the people’ Boban Marjanovićic intentionally misses free-throw to win fans fast food

Quick Glance: Boban Marjanovic's Impact on Fans and Game Outcome

Boban Marjanovic, the Houston Rockets' center, ensured fans in Los Angeles left happy and well-fed.

During the late fourth quarter of the Rockets' season finale versus the Los Angeles Clippers, Marjanovic stepped up to the free-throw line and missed the initial shot of a pair. An opposing player missing two consecutive free throws in a Clippers promotion grants fans free chicken.

Displaying a keen understanding of the situation, Marjanovic personally took charge to secure some chicken for the fan base. Gesturing towards himself, the 7'4" center attempted the second free throw, resulting in another miss as the ball clanged off the rim.

Having spent two seasons with the Clippers, the 35-year-old reciprocated the affection shown by fans during his time in Los Angeles. The gesture was highly valued by fans in the home arena. Fortunately, Marjanovic's actions at the free-throw line did not significantly impact the game, with the Rockets emerging victorious at 116-105.
