The Brooklyn Nets announced on Tuesday morning that they are signing head coach Jacque Vaughn to a multi-year contract extension, running through the 2026-27 season. Vaughn took over for former head coach Steve Nash on Nov. 1, and has posted a 32-19 record.

In a statement released by the Nets, general manager Sean Marks praised Vaughn for his impact during his short time as head coach: “Jacque has made an immediate and immeasurable impact on our entire organization since assuming the role of head coach earlier this season. On the court, he’s clearly demonstrated his leadership through his ability to connect and communicate at a very high level while displaying tremendous instincts for the game. As a person, they don’t come any better than Jacque. His character is impeccable, and there is not a better representative for our team and our borough. We are thrilled to have Jacque lead the Nets for years to come.”
