Report: Nets Working Through 'Final Stages' of Vetting Ime Udoka as New Head Coach

The Brooklyn Nets are in the process of searching for a new head coach as they navigate through the aftermath of the Irving situation.

The Nets are vetting Ime Udoka for the job.

Steve Nash was let go by the Nets after seven games.

As a result of the announcement, Udoka was likely to be named Nash's replacement and a decision could be made as soon as 48 hours.

The Nets are expected to be interested in the former Utah Jazz head coach, according to Wojnarowski.

There has been no substantial contact from Brooklyn about the interest of the man.

The Boston Celtics suspended Udoka for the 2022-23 season for multiple violations of team policies discovered in an investigation conducted by an outside law firm.

Udoka was disciplined for making unwanted comments towards a female staff member in the Celtics organization and having an intimate relationship with her.

Sources said that some members of the Celtics organization were aware of the relationship in July. Team leadership believed that the relationship was consensual. The team launched a set of internal interviews after the woman accused Udoka of making inappropriate comments.

The Celtics wouldn't stop Udoka from taking the Nets job even though he's under contract to them.

Since Nash's departure, the acting head coach has been a member of Brooklyn's staff.

Heading into Friday's game against the Wizards, the Nets are off to a poor start.
