Following a tumultuous summer in the organization, the Brooklyn Nets and head coach Steve Nash “have agreed to part ways” seven games into the 2022-23 NBA season, the team announced on Tuesday.
The Nets have underperformed since hiring Nash as a first-time coach in 2020, even if the Hall of Fame point guard does not bear full responsibility for the drama surrounding his team over the last three seasons.
Nash issued a bland statement full of appreciation for everyone in the organization after his exit.
Assistant coach Jacque Vaughn will serve as Nash’s replacement in the interim.
