It may be back to the drawing board for David Griffin, Trajan Langdon, and company.
Reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski , Brooklyn Nets assistant Jacque Vaughn has decided to withdraw his name from all head coaching vacancies to return to Brooklyn next season.
Per Woj, Vaughn cited family reasons and the desire to spend time with his two teenage sons.

Just days ago, Vaughn was among the top candidates for the Pelicans head coaching job along with Bucks assistant Charles Lee. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst cited Vaughn’s close relationship with Pelicans GM Trajan Langdon as a strong case for Vaughn.
For now, it looks like it may be Charles Lee’s job to lose unless the Pelicans opt to continue the interview process.
