Four-time head coach Frank Vogel has joined Jason Kidd's coaching staff in Dallas as a consultant, the Mavericks head coach said.

"It took a lot of begging," Kidd said, according to the SteinLine, "but he was talked into it and I'm happy he said yes."

Vogel was fired as head coach of the Phoenix Suns in May after just one season.

Vogel, 51, has 480 career regular-season victories as head coach of the Indiana Pacers (2010-2016), Orlando Magic (2016-2018), Los Angeles Lakers (2019-2022) and Suns.

Kidd was an assistant coach under Vogel when the Lakers won the NBA title in the 2019-20 season.
