Report: Nets owner Joe Tsai being advised to reconsider head coaching decision

It was reported last week that the Brooklyn Nets were expected to hire Ime Udoka as their next head coach. According to Marc Stein, some have been advising owner Joe Tsai to reconsider that decision.

It's been a wild ride for the Nets over the first couple of weeks of the season. Not only is the team off to a 4-6 start, but the organization has already let go of Steve Nash (in a mutual decision) as head coach and suspended star point guard Kyrie Irving. Soon after the Nash departure, it was reported that the team was looking strongly at bringing back Udoka to lead the club (he was an assistant coach during the 2020-2021 season).

However, the apparent decision resulted in plenty of backlash due to Udoka's current suspension from his gig as the Boston Celtics head coach for violation of team policies related to an improper relationship with a female staff member.

Jacque Vaughn is serving as the interim head coach and has guided the Nets to wins in two of their last three contests, including two in a row. Brooklyn will travel to face the Dallas Mavericks at 9:45 p.m. ET on Monday.
