Nets and Head Coach Steve Nash have agreed to part ways. Jacque Vaughn is the acting head coach tonight but expects the Nets to inquire with suspended Celtics coach Ime Udoka and Quin Snyder, among others. Boston will let Udoka leave for another job.
Ime Udoka has emerged as a solid frontrunner to be the next Brooklyn Nets head coach, and the sides have begun discussions. Nets are in the midst of its search process and are continuing to do due diligence.
The Brooklyn Nets plan to hire Ime Udoka as their new head coach. Boston granted the Nets permission to speak to Udoka and will allow him to leave freely, sources said.
The hope is that Udoka can tighten the Nets defensively and command the respect of the franchise’s key players. Udoka spent a season on Steve Nash’s staff before accepting the Celtics job and winning the Eastern Conference. With the suspension, his future in Boston was essentially over.
