In surprise move, Nets hiring Kevin Ollie as assistant coach

Kevin Ollie, the former NBA player and NCAA-winning UConn coach, will be joining Jacque Vaughn’s staff as an assistant after losing out on the Pistons head coach job to Monty Williams.

Adrian Wojnarowski was first with the news...

Ollie was a finalist for the Detroit Pistons head coaching job and won the 2014 NCAA championship as UConn’s coach. He recently left Overtime Elite after two years of running that NBA-feeder program. https://t.co/bIVg6SJJRz
