The Dallas Mavericks have hired Frank Vogel as associate head coach under Jason Kidd. Vogel will replace Sean Sweeney, who left the Mavericks to become associate head coach of the San Antonio Spurs under Mitch Johnson.
Jason Kidd was an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers under Vogel when they won the 2019-20 NBA championship. Kidd is expected to sign a contract extension with the Mavericks before the start of next season after he was a top candidate for the New York Knicks’ head coaching vacancy that went to Mike Brown.
Vogel was fired by the Lakers after the 2021-22 season and he was head coach of the Phoenix Suns for the 2023-24 season.
