The Brooklyn Nets’ G League affiliate in Long Island on Thursday made a pair of crucial, in-house appointments, officially naming Matt Riccardi as general manager and Shaun Fein as coach.
“We’re thrilled to have Matt and Shaun leading the Long Island Nets,” Brooklyn GM Sean Marks said in a statement. “Both have been integral parts of our development program in Brooklyn and on Long Island, and bring a wealth of experience to their new roles. Their extensive knowledge of our system and culture will be instrumental in both identifying and developing up-and-coming talent for the organization.”
Riccardi got two promotions in an offseason of sweeping changes within the organization.
