Quote:
Nowitzki, former teammate and current Mavericks executive vice president of basketball operations Michael Finley and a select group of trusted, longtime staffers met with Cuban at his request Thursday morning to discuss the franchise's path forward, sources told ESPN.
Sources said that Jason Kidd, Nowitzki's co-star on the Mavericks' 2010-11 championship team, was informally discussed as a coaching candidate among the group, but Cuban intends to hire a new head of basketball operations before conducting the coaching search.

IMHO the job is Jason Kidd's if he wants it.
A good choice for a variety of reasons.
First, it will be good for Luka and his development. There are many similarities of a young Luka and a young Jason Kidd.
Second, Kidd has experience with the current NBA, players and teams. Kidd hits the ground running.
Third, Kidd learns from his mistakes. Third time as a HC will allow Kidd to exorcize the past errors that cost him jobs.
