In what was shocking news to many, the Brooklyn Nets named Jacque Vaughn as head coach on a deal that runs through the 2023-24 NBA season, according to reports, amidst the constant rumors surrounding former Celtics coach, Ime Udoka. Nets fans heard from their newest head coach before Wednesday's game as well as general manager, Sean Marks.
Marks, who spoke first on Wednesday, indicated that this was Vaughn’s job to lose despite the constant outside noise about other candidates. He also touted Vaughn, 47, for his composure while helming things on the sideline.
