Jason Kidd will be back for his fifth season as the Dallas Mavericks’ coach. That’s what Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison said Wednesday, hours after his team selected Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 pick. “Are there rumors still out there about J-Kidd?” Harrison said. “I thought I shut them down. Yes, he will be the coach next year.”

Despite the rumors swirling around Kidd and the New York Knicks having mutual interest in a partnership, Mavs president Nico Harrison confirmed in a post-draft press conference that he does not intend to let that happen.
