    Brooklyn Nets interim coach P.J. Carlesimo's future is uncertain after his team's first-round playoff exit.

    His players, however, would like to see him return.

    "I think he did a great job," Nets point guard Deron Williams said after the team's 99-93 loss to the Chicago Bulls in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals at Barclays Center.

    "With everything that went on this season, we had a lot of turmoil and he kind of inherited us. And I think he did a great job of leading us and getting us that fourth seed. I'd love to see him back, but as you know, that's not up to me."

    Carlesimo went 35-19 during the regular season after taking over for Avery Johnson following the team's 14-14 start, which led to Johnson's dismissal.

    "I'm pretty happy with the way he's coached and the way things worked out," center Brook Lopez said. "I think a lot of players bought into what he was preaching."
