The Steve Nash era with the Brooklyn Net didn’t go very well. While he made the playoffs in his first two seasons, he was dismissed just seven games into his third year, and stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant were asking for trades.
“I hadn’t planned to coach, there was a unique situation in Brooklyn that knocked on my door,” Nash told Cesare Milanti of Eurohoop. “It was a quick transition. You deal with a different dynamic. A lot of it is managing personalities, between front offices, players, and agents. That’s a huge component of my job. All the dynamics, personalities, and power that the players hold nowadays.”
Now that Nash is out of coaching, it doesn’t seem like he’s itching to return to the bench any time soon.
“Coaching was a great experience,” Nash continued, “I didn’t want to be a career coach. I don’t think coaching was about to be my career. I’m coaching my kids, teaching them life. I earned the opportunity to choose, and that’s rewarding, There are always projects, affiliates, and partnerships. I always have something going on, I’m focused on my family.”
