Vaughn had gone 2-2 as acting coach since the Nets and Nash parted ways on Nov. 1.
NEW YORK (AP) — Jacque Vaughn knew when he moved into Steve Nash’s seat that he might just be keeping it warm for Ime Udoka.
The Brooklyn Nets were expected to hire the suspended Boston Celtics coach for their job, maybe after Vaughn had it only for a game. Instead, the Nets decided Wednesday to give the job to Vaughn.
“I guess I was, what is that, the write-in candidate in the minds of the elections right now, but I’m OK with that,” Vaughn joked. “I said to my wife, I might have not been her first choice and we’ve been together 20 years, so it can all work out. So, off we go.”
