Steve Nash’s tenure as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets is over.
On Tuesday, reports emerged that the two-time MVP had mutually agreed with the franchise to leave his post amid a 2-5 record to open the 2022/23 NBA season. Many expected Brooklyn to compete for a championship this year with Nash leading a stacked roster headlined by All-Stars Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons.
Back when he was hired in September 2020, Nash’s surprising arrival was supposed to signal the beginning of a new era in the Eastern Conference; a move designed to unsettle the NBA landscape. With Nash at the helm and two established and bona fide superstars in Durant and Irving wreaking havoc on the court, the world appeared to be their oyster.
