The Brooklyn Nets are gearing up for the upcoming season under head coach Jacque Vaughn, adding five new assistant coaches to their ranks, including former UConn championship leader Kevin Ollie.

Ollie, who steered the Huskies to the 2014 NCAA title, brings a wealth of experience to Brooklyn. He recently oversaw coaching and basketball development for the Overtime Elite program, which is poised to see twin prospects Amen and Ausar Thompson potentially drafted high in the upcoming NBA draft.

Ollie was also in the running for the Detroit Pistons' head coaching position before Monty Williams was ultimately selected.

Joining Ollie are Will Weaver, Jay Hernandez, and Ronnie Burrell. Weaver and Burrell both have experience with the Nets' G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets. Hernandez comes to Brooklyn after five seasons with the Charlotte Hornets, focusing on player development.

Rounding out the new additions is Corey Vinson, who will serve as assistant coach for player development. Vaughn’s existing staff, including Adam Caporn, Trevor Hendry, and Ryan Forehan-Kelly, will remain in place.
