Nets ‘100%’ in on hiring James Borrego as assistant coach says league source
With four openings on the Nets coaching staff, a league source tell NetsDaily that the Nets are “100%” in on pursuing James Borrego, the former head coach of both the Hornets and Magic, as Jacque Vaughn’s lead assistant.
The source also noted that the Nets pursued Borrego a year ago, not long after he had been fired by the Hornets in April 2022. The Nets currently have four assistant coaching jobs open following management’s decision to part ways with Igor Kokoskov, Brian Keefe and Tiago Splitter.
