Mike Scotto reports that while Jay Hernandez will be staying on under Jordi Fernandez, Kevin Ollie, Will Weaver and Ronnie Burrell will not return. Mike Scotto of Hoopshype reports Thursday that while Jay Hernandez, one Jacque Vaughn’s development assistants, will return next season, but Kevin Ollie, Will Weaver and Ronnie Burrell will not. Ollie of course filled in as interim head coach after the Nets dismissed Jacque Vaughn at the All-Star Break.
As previously reported, Steve Hetzel, an assistant coach with the Portland Trail Blazers, and Juwan Howard, former head coach of the University of Michigan Wolverines, are joining Jordi Fernandez’s staff.

It’s expected that Hetzel, Howard and Hernandez will handle much of the Nets Summer League coaching responsibilities. Fernandez will be in Las Vegas early in July but remains head coach of the Canadian national team.
NetsDaily can confirm the report. No word yet on the fate of Adam Caporn, the Nets assistant who has also been director of development. Caporn is also an assistant coach on the Australian national team.
Meanwhile, multiple sources tell NetsDaily that the Nets performance team may also undergo a shake up with several members of the team possibly not getting their contracts renewed. No details yet on those moves including who might be leaving and who’d replace them.
