Brooklyn Nets fire head coach Steve Nash amid tumultuous start to season
USA TodayMAR 23 2023
While Nash tried his best to take on one of the most bizarre team atmospheres imaginable, he shouldn't have to deal with the circus known as the Brooklyn Nets. He comes from a different generation — one in which you play through broken bones and big egos — and the players he was in charge of simply don't compare.
Nash's firing was inevitable, though the timing is still mysteriously late. The Nets should've fired him after Durant first requested a trade over the summer, but they waited for the team to start the season at 2-5 and Nash to blow a fuse in a game against the Bucks. His coaching clearly wasn't working, and now the team is facing an uphill battle.
