D'Alessandro: It Ain't About the Coach

[NJNetz]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">In his weekly mailbag, beat writer Dave D'Alessandro offers fans a tutorial on what a coach can and can't do, offering both historical background and some insight into how the Nets run their offense. D'Alessandro notes that the complaints about Frank's offensive sets fail to take into consideration that the big problem has been other teams' offenses. He also talks about Marcus Williams' ego and his fervent desire to see Hassan Adams on the court more.</div>

So many fans are turning on Frank and suggesting giving the job to Rick Adelman.

Rick Adelmen doesn't sound too bad. Don't bash me for this, but if we don't win tonight or the next game, we might think about changing our coach.

Right now, that doesn't sound too bad. I just don't get the direction that coach Frank wants on the offensive end. I'm beyond frustrated.

Thorn: Frank's 'a terrific coach'

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Rod Thorn endorsed Lawrence Frank after Tuesday's loss, saying the blame for the Nets' slow start lies elsewhere. "I think he's a terrific coach," Thorn said. "I think he does a great job. I don't think that's the problem." Thorn also said that the team has no plans to acquire anyone, at least until after they see what Josh Boone and Eddie House can do. One name that keeps coming up is the Bobcats' Melvin Ely. The 'Cats wanted a first round pick for him last year.</div>
