“He’s the Nets’ first choice,” said an NBA source with knowledge of the organization’s thinking. “It comes down to if he wants to leave Duke and his comfortable setting and take on a new challenge.”

The Nets could also offer Krzyzewski the title of general manager. Both the coach and general manager posts, currently held by Kiki Vandeweghe, are expected to be available after the season.

Krzyzewski’s appeal is a given. He is a Hall of Fame coach, having won more than 75 percent of his games in college and three National titles. He would give the Nets’ instant credibility.

He’s also a proven recruiter, something that could come in handy this summer when the Nets need to make important sales pitches to marquee free agents with whom Krzyzewski has relationships.

"I'm not leaving Duke," Krzyzewski said. "Whatever you hear about anything like that, I would never leave Duke until I leave coaching. Anything else that's being said would be just somebody saying stuff."

After the game, Krzyzewski refuted rumors that the New Jersey Nets were interested in him, first saying the team has not contacted him before cracking a few one-liners.
"The guy's Russian, right? You think he'd hire a Polish guy?" Krzyzewski quipped in reference to Mikhail Prokhorov, the Russian billionaire and the Nets' prospective buyer.
Then, he added with a laugh: "No one's contacted me, and if they do, I think 'nyet' would be easy for me to say."
