On February 20, Beijing time, when everyone was still immersed in the joy of Indiana's All-Star Weekend, a big thing happened to the Brooklyn Nets, that is, they suddenly officially announced the dismissal of team coach Jacques Vaughn, which can be said to be unexpected! We had expected that Jacques Vaughn's position might be in danger, but we didn't expect the class to come so in time.
The Brooklyn Nets officially announced today that the team has officially fired coach Jacques Vaughn, and the interim coach will be appointed shortly. At this point, Jacques Vaughn's Nets coach career is officially over! It is reported that Jacques Vaughn officially became the head coach of the Nets from November 2022, and his contract will expire after the end of the 2023-24 season. But this rookie coach didn't finish well, and was forced to quit halfway through the season before it ended!
Nets general manager Sean Marks wrote in an official statement: "It's a very difficult decision, but we believe it's in the best interest of the team going forward. Over the past few years, Jacques Vaughn has represented the team with exemplary character and first-class quality, and I thank him for the positivity and enthusiasm he brings to the team every day, thank him for all he has done for the Nets and the Brooklyn community, and wish him and his family all the best for the future. ”
So far this season, the Nets have only a 21-33 record and are 11th in the East. It is worth mentioning that in the last 24 games, Jacques Vaughn led the Nets to only 6 wins, which undoubtedly intensified the rhythm of his class! During this period, the Nets lost a lot of games that they shouldn't have lost, which completely exposed Jacques Vaughn's shortcomings in on-court coaching ability and his fatal wound of serious lack of control of the overall situation!
There's no denying that Jacques Vaughn is a head coach with little brilliance and a lack of charisma, which is illustrated by the disdain of his tactical set-up by several of the Nets' main players. Several Nets players, including Stiwiddie and Bridges, have been speaking out in the locker room for months about the team's offense, according to Shams of The Athletic. They felt that there were a number of things in Vaughn's offense that were inappropriate and lacked system. And Jacques Vaughn built the team's offense on Simmons, which can be said to be so wrong that it attracted ridicule from the Nets players!
Previously, with Bridges, Dinwiddie, Claxton, Cameron Johnson, Thomas, Simmons, Finneysmith and many other good players in his hands, he actually led the team to play a terrible record, and Jacques Vaughnjan played a good hand of cards to a pulp! No wonder the Nets suddenly fired him, it's simply self-inflicted. Now, Jacques Vaughn is finally out of class, and the Nets are about to usher in a new coach, and the Brooklyn sky is finally going to light up! I hope that the new coach of the Nets can lead this team that is not weak in the first place, and finally win a place to qualify for the Eastern Conference play-offs.
Come on, Brooklyn Nets!
