Thorn Denies Kidd Wants Scott Fired
From Associated Press
President and General Manager Rod Thorn of the New Jersey Nets on Thursday denied reports that Jason Kidd demanded that Coach Byron Scott be fired before he would re-sign.
The New York Post and the Record of Bergen County cited unnamed sources in their reports.
“I want to reiterate that this was an erroneous story without merit -- Jason Kidd has never asked nor demanded that Coach Scott be fired, and to be portrayed otherwise is an injustice,” Thorn said in a statement.
