Nets’ three coaching search finalists include Mike Budenholzer
NY Post
The Nets’ coaching search is coming into focus.
Former Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer, current Kings associate head coach Jordi Fernandez and current Suns associate head coach Kevin Young have emerged among the finalists to be Jacque Vaughn’s full-time successor in Brooklyn, according to The Athletic.
Of the three candidates, Budenholzer has the most accomplished resume, winning the NBA Finals with Milwaukee in 2020-21 and holding a record of 484-317 in his career — with his other stopping being with the Hawks.
Vaughn was fired in February with the team floundering at 21-34.
Kevin Ollie took over as interim coach, and the Nets sit 32-49 and are set to miss the playoffs.
Vaughn went 64-65 during his two-year tenure in Brooklyn.
