Nets assistants Mike D'Antoni, Jacque Vaughn receiving interest for head coach jobs

As Nets head coach Steve Nash said, turnover within his coaching staff was something to anticipate. And now two coaches, Mike D'Antoni and Jacque Vaughn are among those with head coach interviews. 

D'Antoni, a veteran in this area, will have his second interview with the Portland Trail Blazers for their head coaching vacancy some time this week, reports ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. 

The Blazers are also doing second interviews with former NBA All-Star Chauncey Billups and Becky Hammon, the San Antonio Spurs assistant who is making history as the first female finalist for a head coaching job. 

As for Vaughn, the New Orleans Pelicans have asked for permission from Brooklyn to interview him for their head coach job. They did the same with Milwaukee Bucks assistant Charles Lee.

Vaughn was an interim head coach for the Nets two seasons ago, winning seven of his 10 games in that position and getting recognition when Brooklyn was looking for its next coach. They eventually went with Steve Nash in his first ever coaching role, but Vaughn remained with the team he had been with for five seasons at that point heading into this past season.
