Players Questioned Jacque Vaughn’s In-Game Decisions

The ousting of head coach Jacque Vaughn came after their 50-point loss before the break, and some within the organization were concerned about his methods. For the players, they questioned his decision-making in games.

Players like Mikal Bridges voiced their frustrations and lack confidence in Vaughn’s coaching abilities. This did lead to management worrying about big talents not wanting to come to Brooklyn because of the former coach.

In a non-confrontational way, per Ian Begley, Spencer Dinwiddie spoke with Vaughn about having a defined hierarchy on offense. It appears there was no offensive leader or sense of who is supposed to be the “guy” on the team.

It was also reported Vaughn wanted to play the team through Ben Simmons, which got people confused.

In all of this reporting, Kevin Ollie was promoted to interim head coach.

This is the second time he has been fired in his coaching career. The first time was with the Orlando Magic mid-way through the 2014-15 season.

The Los Angeles Clippers swooped in and secured him for their center room. With him not wanting to be apart of the current LeBron drama in L.A., Lopez passed up being a starter to now being the backup to Ivica Zubac.

This offseason saw Deandre Ayton be bought out by the Portland Trail Blazers and signed by the Lakers, which came days after the Lopez news.

According to Marc Stein, the Golden State Warriors have been strongly interested in bringing back De’Anthony Melton for the next season. Last offseason saw Golden State sign Melton to a one-year, $12.4 million deal.

Fans only got to experience six games of Melton’s talents due to him suffering a partially torn left ACL. That injury left him done for the remainder of the season. For the Warriors, they would love to bring him back to give him another shot on the team.

Golden State has been linked to signing players like Al Horford, Bradley Beal, and now potentially the 27-year-old.
