Possible new head coaches
The new president will probably have a large say in who the new coach is.
Luka won’t be involved in the selection process, but he will be kept apprised, and they will look for someone who fits with him. Might have veto power.
Mosley is an obvious candidate. If he doesn’t get the head coach job, he will almost certainly leave. Is very popular with the players. But he has been able to play the “good cop” role with respect to Rick, and probably can’t do that any more if he is HC.
Becky Hammon likely to be interviewed. There is a Serbian assistant coach at Memphis who might get a shot. Also a Slovenian guy who is a former head coach of the Suns. Terry Stotts might draw some interest, although more likely they will go with someone younger, who can relate well to young guys while also having enough gravitas to command respect. Dwayne Casey might be interested. Kidd would probably have an interest in coming back to Dallas. Barea would like to come back as an assistant. Other names will surface. Nick Nurse, maybe. Or the Pacers coach.
Might get a players’ coach as HC, and then bring in an assistant or two to do the X’s and O’s.
Many changes coming.

Jerry Stackhouse seems like the guy who fits most requirement.
Ex-player, had his experience with the NBA, former Mavs and knows Cuban, 2 times assistant coach, winner of G-League and fairly young (not old at least) as he is almost 47 by the time he starts his 1st season.
The only catch is that he didn't have much success with Vanderbilt, although they were a mess before him.
