Seven small games (two wins for five losses). That’s all it took for Steve Nash and the Nets to divorce this season, as announced by ESPN and other American media.
“We want to thank Steve for everything he has brought to our franchise over the past two seasons” explains the GM, Sean Marks. “Since becoming a coach, Steve has faced an unprecedented number of challenges, and we are truly grateful for his leadership, patience and humility during his time. Personally, it was a very difficult decision to make. Nonetheless, after much deliberation and evaluation of how our season has started, we agreed that a change was needed. »
On Twitter, the two-time MVP thanked Joe and Clara Tsai, owners of the franchise, as well as Sean Marks. He also assures that it was “a pleasure to work with the players, the staff and the managers”.
For the moment, it is Jacque Vaughn who will lead the team, especially tonight in Chicago, but ESPN ensures that the Nets will be interested in Ime Udoka or Quin Snyder for the future.
