The Brooklyn Nets have formally interviewed incumbent coach Jacque Vaughn for their head coaching position and Vaughn has impressed ownership, sources told The Athletic. Vaughn, who led the Nets to a 5-3 record in the Orlando NBA restart and the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, remains a significant candidate in the Nets’ search process and has left a great impression on ownership. Brooklyn identified several targets for the search, and The Athletic reported last week that they had interest in pursuing San Antonio Spurs icon Gregg Popovich. The Nets are believed to be continuing to work through their process even after their interview with Vaughn.
