The Brooklyn Nets are hiring Kevin Ollie as an assistant coach, sources told ESPN on Saturday.
Ollie, who won an NCAA championship as Connecticut’s coach in 2014, had been a finalist for the Detroit Pistons head coaching job this spring.
Ollie joins a reshaped coaching staff for Jacque Vaughn’s first full season as the Nets coach. Ollie spent the past two years as general manager and coach of the Overtime Elite program in Atlanta that has become a premier feeder program for professional basketball.
