Nash had pursued Kokoskov when he first got the job after their time together in Phoenix.

Kokoskov initially became an NBA assistant with the LA Clippers in 2000-01 and received his first head coaching stint in the 2018-19 season with the Phoenix Suns. He then joined the Sacramento Kings' staff for 2019-20 before departing the NBA.

Kokoskov, 50, moved back to the NBA after spending the 2020-21 season with Fenerbahce in the EuroLeague and joined the Mavs' coaching staff as an assistant this season.

The Serbian coach won EuroBasket 2017 with the Slovenian NT, their first-ever EuroBasket trophy.
