Mike Budenholzer, the current coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, who knew Jacque Vaughn as a player, said that he brings the same devotion to detail as a coach. Budenholzer said, “As a player, his work ethic and his attention to detail were just off the charts. He’s about as sharp as anybody I’ve ever been around as a player, and his thirst for game plans and little moments where he can make a difference and impact winning. It was high-level. And as a coach, it’s kind of the same thing.”
Even Kyrie Irving credited the Nets’ coach for keeping the team accountable. Considering he was supposed to be an interim coach, he has done a commendable job of enabling the team further.
