Comments on: ESPN Reports Frank Officially On the Hot Seat http://www.njnetscast.com/blog/2008/03/19/espn-reports-frank-officially-on-the-hot-seat/ A die-hard New Jersey Nets fan hosts this popular fan-based podcast and accompanying blog Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:57:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Anonymous http://www.njnetscast.com/blog/2008/03/19/espn-reports-frank-officially-on-the-hot-seat/#comment-21 Anonymous Fri, 21 Mar 2008 01:59:44 +0000 http://www.njnetscast.com/blog/2008/03/19/espn-reports-frank-officially-on-the-hot-seat/#comment-21 I'd take not an up-an-coming assistant but a coach that has proven he can be a head coach. Sure Cartwright had poor succsess, but he was with a horrible team. i think Carterwright is the Nets most qualified, and best suited for a Head Coaching job of all the Nets' assistants. Im by no means a fan of Brian Hill. I’d take not an up-an-coming assistant but a coach that has proven he can be a head coach.

If you watch, he has games like last night, then he has games like he did in Chicago - jump shots, terrible FG %, no offensive flow. Its inconsistency. Frank deserves some blame, but how much. It's not all his fault, but do you want him in control of the future? Do you go with a big name (Van Gundy, Brown) or take an unproven commodity (Jackson, Greg Anthony), or an up and coming assistant (like Frank was)? Carter has definitely underachieved.

VC hasn't underachieved, have you seen the games or the stats. Only his scoring and shooting is down and that's due in part to an offense that makes it impossible for any shooter to get a rhythm. His rebounds and assists are up, his stat line this year is 20pts 6r 5a. Career line 24pts 5.5reb 4a. I understand we want Vince to score 30pts a night, but he doesn't take nearly enough shots nor have a supporting cast (offensive system, spot shooters, rebounders) that allows this to happen.

Not neccesarily because he's done a poor job this year, but the way it is is if the team does much worse than they are expected to do, the blame first comes onto the Coach, no matter if it is a fair thing or not. Yes Krstic was injured and Carter has majorly underachieved since inking the 62 million dollar contract,and Kidd didn't seem to have much interest in the Nets, but some blame deffinitely does have to fall onto Frank. If i had to think of a replacement I'd say Larry Brown, or Jeff Van Gundy, or even the Nets very own Bill Cartwright.
