"Nets Fire Head Coach Jacque Vaughn Amidst Struggles and 50-Point Loss"

The struggling Brooklyn Nets have fired head coach Jacque Vaughn after a disappointing first half of the season, where they sit in 11th place in the East with a 21-33 record. Vaughn, who was in his second season as coach, was let go following a 50-point loss to the Boston Celtics. Nets General Manager Sean Marks expressed gratitude for Vaughn's contributions but stated that the decision was made in the best interest of the team's future. The Nets are now focused on rebuilding the roster around forward Mikal Bridges and have significant salary cap space and draft capital to facilitate this process.
