The Brooklyn Nets are hoping former Kings associate head coach Jordi Fernandez can help the franchise rebound after missing the playoffs for the first time in six years.
Jordi Fernandez was hired Monday as coach of the Brooklyn Nets, who are looking to bounce back after missing the playoffs for the first time in six years. The Nets finished 32-50 and fired Jacque Vaughn at the All-Star break. Kevin Ollie finished out the season as the interim coach. Fernandez spent the last two seasons as associate head coach of the Sacramento Kings, helping them win the Pacific Division title last year and reach the playoffs for the first time since 2006.
'As we progressed through an extensive search over the past six weeks, it became increasingly clear that Jordi is the best coach to lead our team forward,' general manager Sean Marks said in a statement. 'Jordi brings a diverse set of experiences and basketball knowledge gained over the course of a coaching career that has taken him around the world.' Fernandez spent six seasons as an assistant with the Denver Nuggets before moving to Sacramento.
