Nets’ New Assistants Bring Career Toughness
August 2, 2008, 6:37 am Bill Cartwright and Pat Sullivan, the two assistants who left the team for Phoenix and Detroit, had a grand total of six NBA championship rings and one NCAA championship between them. The two men who replaced them have none, but what they do have is a history of grit–playing on one year-contracts or coaching in the D-League. For Doug Overton and Roy Rogers, the Nets represent the next step.

I think this was a good change. Feels like we've needed a switch-up from last season.

I hope Dougie knows how to run an offense. IMO that's the thing we need the most. Our offense has been downright ugly ever since Frank became head coach.

I like the attitude these guys bring. I hope their "never take anything for granted, work your hardest to get what you want" attitudes transfer to all the players.

Rogers is a good pick-up for our big men.

In the words of Seth in the movie Superbad "this plans been f'ed since Jump Street"

Thorn has put way to much trust in Frank to hire a bunch of non-proven NBA coaches to coach the most important rookies bigs you've had in how many years of your franchise. A high basketball IQ and high character can only take you so far without proper guidance.
