The Nets have lost their first asset of the summer. Let the offseason attrition begin.
Sources: Assistant coach John Welch is officially gone from the #Nets, and presumably taking same position in Sacramento under George Karl.

NetsDaily had further words on Welsh:
"Welch ran the offense for Kidd and Hollins but was also largely responsible for player development. Fans may recall Welch's pre-game workouts with Joe Johnson. Joe Wolf, the Nets big man coach, was reportedly in contention for a college coaching job at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay but did not get the job."
