After several days of reflection behind the scenes, we now know the name of the person who will officiate as coach of the Nets until the end of the season. And it’s ultimately about Jacque Vaughnalso extended until 2024.
As in 2019/20, following the departure of Kenny Atkinson, the 47-year-old technician had been acting on the New York bench for a week, and the departure of Steve Nash, whose assistant he was. Guiding Kevin Durant’s group to a record of two wins and two losses.
With this appointment of Jacque Vaughn as permanent coach, it means that the Ime Udoka track is abandoned in Brooklyn. A track that had recently taken the lead in the wing, because some leaders were pressuring Joe Tsai, the owner of the Nets, not to hire the one who remains under contract with Boston.
Why ? Quite simply because the New York franchise must already manage the Kyrie Irving affair and because it would not be very wise to hire a trainer who has himself been suspended for a year for having had an extra- relationship with a Celtics employee. Not too many controversies at the same time…
