Jacque Vaughn Has Been Fired

The Brooklyn Nets have decided to go their separate ways with Jacque Vaughn, as Adrian Wojnarowski confirms the organization has terminated the 64-65 Vaughn.

Many within the organization believed he would be a negative for known players when considering joining their franchise; plus, players like Mikal Bridges aired their frustrations and concerns regarding where this team was going and if they would ever be good under him again.

In their last game before the All-Star break, the Boston Celtics steamed over Brooklyn by 50 points. It’s believed this is what led to his departure from the Nets.

Also, according to reports around the league, assistant coach Kevin Ollie will take over as the interim coach. He is a former player of the league and coached UConn.
