Congrats to Jordi, Brooklyn is in a tough spot but hoping for the best for him!
Flaired with Canada Basketball as Jordi is the coach for Team Canada, so have to wonder if this impacts him coaching in the Olympics. Recall Nick Nurse was the coach for Team Canada but stepped down after being hired by the Sixers.
From Oren Weisfeld: [The message from Canada Basketball all along is that Jordi will still coach the Olympics. His contract runs through it. Obviously things can change like they did with Nurse. Maybe fans can take solace in the fact that the Nets aren’t a contender, so less urgency](https://x.com/orenweisfeld/status/1780235844781035765?s=46&t=sbk6yuyliVaFRQjBUBJCMQ)
>My understanding is @CanBball
has been kept in the loop regarding possibility of Jordi Fernandez getting a head coaching position this coming season, in this case with the Nets, as @wojespn
has reported. The hope is Jordi will be able to stay on with men’s team for the Olympics.

Not looking forward to the posts next season if the Nets are better than us 😒
Damn, wanted him to be the coach if we kick Darko out. Clearly other teams see him as talented
I was hoping he’d be the Raps choice.
Darko hasn’t been good or bad. I give him an incomplete….
I’ll be so sad if we lose him as a coach for the men’s Olympic team. Truly a great guy and talented coach, happy for any success he has.
Congrats Coach Jordi!
