The Nets are back in Brooklyn and still don’t have a head coach. Jacque Vaughn is the interim and Ime Udoka the heir apparent ... we think.
Marc Stein reported two days ago that there were “strong voices” urging Joe Tsai to “back off” on hiring Udoka who of course is under a year-long suspension for sexual improprieties, part of a “volume of violations” of the Celtics code of conduct as owner Wyc Grousbeck put it back in September when a law firm presented its report on Udoka’s issues.
In the days after Steve Nash was let go, there were reports primarily from Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania that Udoka’s hiring was imminent, “on the brink” as Woj put when he last discussed the issue last Friday.
