The Brooklyn Nets have found their new head coach. Hall of Fame point guard Steve Nash has been hired as the new head coach of the Brooklyn Nets. Steve Nash spent 18 seasons in the NBA playing for the Mavericks, the Suns, and the Lakers. Nash is an 8 time All-Star, two NBA MVP, and is third on the All-Time NBA assists awards.
After retiring in 2015, Nash became a consultant for the Golden State Warriors winning two NBA titles before getting the call for his first coaching job with the Nets. With Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and others returning back healthy next season, the Nets could be one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference next year.
My Thoughts
Wow……not the guy I was expected to see as new head coach for the Nets.
I mean don’t get me wrong Steve Nash was a great basketball player, but I don’t think that this is the right hire for this team. Nash does not have coaching experience, and the Nets are bringing him to coach a title contending team. I feel like they should’ve brought in a guy with coaching experience like Nate McMillan, Mark Jackson, Ty Lue, or even just to bring back their assistant coach Jacque Vaughn to coach the team.
I wouldn’t have mind if Nash was hired as an assistant coach, or even to be the head coach somewhere else like the Pelicans or the Bulls. But to bring him to the Nets with high goals was not the best move the Nets could make. We all saw what happened when they hired Jason Kidd as their head coach a week after he retired, and things went into a dumpster fire.
I hope things do work out for Steve Nash, but this is either going to work or fail miserably.
