While the Ime Udoka track seemed the most likely, the leaders of the Brooklyn Nets finally decided to trust Jacque Vaughn to raise the bar after a difficult start to the season and the dismissal of Steve Nash.
The interim is coming to an end for Jacque Vaughn. Steve Nash’s assistant in coaching the Brooklyn Nets for two years, the former Orlando Magic coach took over from the Canadian technician when the latter was sacked. After two wins for five losses in the first seven games, the leaders of the New York franchise opted for electroshock. At the same time, Ime Udoka’s name came up on repeat in an attempt to revive the Nets. However, the one who is currently suspended by the Boston Celtics until the end of the season will not make the trip to New York. In effect, the Nets put an end to the suspense on Wednesday and named Jacque Vaughn head coach permanently. With two wins for two losses on his record, the 47-year-old technician seems to have convinced his leaders.
Vaughn reportedly signed until 2024

However, according to information from the very well-informed journalist of the channel ESPNJacque Vaughn signed for two seasons, that is until the summer of 2024.
