The Brooklyn Nets and Steve Nash decided to part ways Tuesday, which sets up an intriguing coaching search for a franchise filled with drama and disarray. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving have already engineering one coaching change when they pushed Kenny Atkinson out for Nash. It appears they had a hand in this one as well after a 2-5 start to the season. During Durant's offseason trade saga, he wanted Nash gone as part of his deal to return to the franchise. Irving is currently embroiled in backlash surrounding his recent social media posts. Ben Simmons is dealing with an injury.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Nets are making Jacque Vaughn the acting head coach. They are expected to reach out to several potential candidates, including Celtics suspended head coach Ime Udoka and former Jazz head coach Quin Snyder.
Jacque Vaughn is the acting head coach tonight but expect the Nets to inquire with suspended Celtics coach Ime Udoka, Quin Snyder, among others. Boston will let Udoka leave for another job.
