    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jazz scout Brad Jones has emerged as the leading candidate to fill the vacant assistant coaching position on Jerry Sloan's staff, The Salt Lake Tribune has learned.
    If he ends up getting the job, Jones will move in as Sloan's No. 3 assistant behind Phil Johnson and Tyrone Corbin.
    The vacancy was created two weeks ago, when Gordon Chiesa left the Jazz after 16 seasons to become New Jersey head coach Lawrence Frank's top assistant.
    The Jazz did not replace Chiesa immediately because of concerns over a possible lockout. But with the NBA's labor dispute being settled Tuesday, Jones could be hired in time to help coach the Jazz's entry in the annual Rocky Mountain Revue, July 15-22.</div>

    Didn't know much about this guy so I decided to do a little research.

    Appears like he was head coach at Lambuth Univ in Jackson Tennessee for 5 or 6 years.

    He had a career record of 124-73, was twice named Mid-South Conf Coach Of The Year, with a couple of mid S. Campionships.

    Looks like a little background with fair to decent results anyhow.
