Reports State Nets Fire Frank Before End Of Road Trip!

Posted by Jeff Sack under NBA Firings, NBA News 

The “Associated Press“; “The Bergen County Record” and “ESPN.com” are all reporting that the New Jersey Nets have fired head coach Lawrence Frank after the team started out the season with an 0-16 record. Reports are that Frank was told by Team President Rod Thorn Sunday morning that he was being dismissed.

The Nets play the last game of a four game road trip Sunday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. Though rumors were consistent that Frank would be getting fired it was assumed that he would coach the game against the Lakers and that the dismissal would come once the team got back home.

    do the NETS not realize it doesn’t matter who coaches them? You could bring back Red Auerbach from his grave and he couldn’t win with this CBA club.

    Kobe,
    I agree with you; with all the problems that the Nets have Lawrence Frank was not among them. They are in a rebuilding mode right now and the talent they do have is injured. Unfortunately partner as you are well aware in the NBA a coach is hired to be fired! He started on a winning streak and ended on a losing streak. Thanks for the comment!
