Nets Make Decision on Coach Jacque Vaughn’s Future With Franchise

The Brooklyn Nets have fired coach Jacque Vaughn, the team announced Monday morning. An interim coach will be named “in the near future.”

The Nets are currently the No. 11 seed in the Eastern Conference with a 21–33 record. The Nets are promoting assistant coach Kevin Ollie to interim head coach, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Monday afternoon. Ollie coached the UConn men’s basketball team to the national championship in 2014.

Vaughn joined Brooklyn as an assistant coach in 2016 and was named interim coach in 2020 when Kenny Atkinson stepped down from his coaching duties. After that, Vaughn stayed on as an assistant for new coach Steve Nash and ultimately was named interim coach yet again in November 2022 when Nash was fired.
