The Brooklyn Nets interviewed Jason Kidd on Monday regarding their head coach vacancy, according to a report.

Kidd has been pursuing the Nets' opening after retiring from the NBA last week.

The Nets will interview Brian Shaw on Wednesday, according to sources.

Kidd had a storied run with the Nets, highlighted by back-to-back appearances in the NBA Finals in 2002 and 2003.

Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Kidd has emerged as a formidable candidate and is competing with Shaw for the job. Kidd has convinced the Nets that he is committed to the demands of becoming a head coach.
