Thorn Return Next Year Appears Likely

Prokhorov was quoted as saying, “At the moment, there are no managers in Russia qualified to supervise people at the level of Rod Thorn or (CEO) Brett Yormark.”

 

The Nets president, who as recently as Saturday was still unsure of his job status next season, wasn’t treating that published statement as official, however.

 

“I just saw it, but I don’t really have a reaction to it,” Thorn said in an afternoon phone conversation Monday. “What was indicated to me was, he said he would wait to take over the team before publicly saying what he was going to do. So I’ll wait for it when the time comes.”

"When the time is right, he will make the right selection," Yormark said of Thorn's role in the search for a "game changer" to coach the Nets. "Rod will attract that type of coach." In spite of an apparent endorsement of his future by Mikhail Prokhorov Sunday, Thorn isn't commenting.
