"Nets Terminate Head Coach Jacque Vaughn Amid Struggles"

The Brooklyn Nets have fired coach Jacque Vaughn after a 21-33 start to the season, less than a year after signing a multiyear contract extension. Vaughn, who previously coached the team as an interim head coach in 2020, had guided the Nets to a strong record before the All-Star break but saw the team's performance decline afterward. The decision to dismiss Vaughn comes as a surprise, as the Nets are still within reach of the Play-In Tournament, but reports suggest that his standing in the locker room may have waned. The Nets have yet to name an interim head coach, but they have added Kevin Ollie and Will Weaver to their coaching staff.
