Jacque Vaughn staying on as Nets lead assistant coach

The Nets are keeping Jacque Vaughn as the lead coach and making him the highest paid assistant in the league, sources said. Vaughn made a strong impression on Tsai and Marks after taking over for Kenny Atkinson in February, including the league’s restart in Orlando, and likely would’ve been the Nets choice had Nash been unconvinced of taking the job, sources said.
