Assistant head coach Jacque Vaughn will serve as the interim coach for the remainder of the season. “After discussions with Kenny about the progress of the season, we mutually agreed that a coaching change would be in the best interest of the team,” said General Manager Sean Marks in a statement. “This was an extremely difficult decision, however the organization believes it is one that is necessary at this time. Kenny was instrumental in developing our players and building the identity and culture we have become known for over these past four seasons. The foundation he helped put into place here is one that we will continue to build on in the coming seasons. We are forever grateful for all of Kenny’s hard work and dedication to the Nets and the Brooklyn community. Kenny, Laura and the Atkinson family will always remain a part of our Nets family and we wish them nothing but the best in the future.”  Atkinson put together a 118-190 record in just under four seasons with the Nets. He was instrumental in developing Brooklyn’s young guards, like D’Angelo Russell, who became a first-time All-Star last season, Caris LeVert, who just recorded his first career triple double and 50-point game in the same week; and Spencer Dinwiddie, who has emerged as a starting caliber point guard under Atkinson’s lead. More to come on this developing story.
