Want to coach the Nets for a day? Do that x's and o's thing with John Loyer? Tell CDR he's not playing? Set the snooze alarm for TWill or maybe even concoct a secret deal with Del Harris? Here's your chance! Zappo's, a Nets sponsor, is running a nationwide contest: "Do you want to be a coach for a day?" Winner and guest "will be whisked off to New Jersey...to rub elbows with Kiki Vandeweghe." Really...it's true.

Kiki will go down in history as the worst coach in NBA history

I bet a lot of posters on the board can do a better job than Kiki or Frank. The Nets coaching has sucked for a while now.

If a woman with dreads wins coach of the day I’m threw.

I bet she’ll coach the Nets to the 8th seed on the last day and convince the entire sold out audience (cracks a laugh) to make a stand so that Bruce ratner does not sell the team to the rich Texan and keeps it in New Jersey.

All the while finally teaching Brook Lopez how to take a charge on the final play of the season that vaults them into the playoffs…

JayMS:
Nah… they won’t. Real NBA is not NBA Live or NBA 2k. Pick and roll with infinite energy and dunking does not occur in real life.
Although I did read an article in ESPN the magazine about how the Nets did run a play from a fan… and it worked!

@Intheknow
Eddie!
Seriously if they do this, the first game coached by one of us. we win and we can fire kiki.
Lawrence Frank will probably win the contest.

Kiki is not a coach. He is atrocious. Frank was a very good coach. He went down to Orlando and look what VC is doing. It is justified to say Kiki stinks, but Frank had them playing and got quite a lot out of CDR.

signed up
My strategy is to tell the Nets not to come out of the locker room after halftime, that way at least the fans win!

Enough of this garbage! Fire this clown and pay Fratello a few bucks to get out there. he wants to coach so badly he might be desperate enough to accept.
I will never understand why this hideous excuse for a coach isn’t at least playing the best players he has to try and avoid this unthinkable record. Josh Boone should DEFINITELY be playing over Hassell and now Tony Battie!!! CDR at the very least should be getting 20 minutes off the bench. This is really a travesty.

This contest is a trick. No NBA coach wants this job. The winner will show up thinking it is just an honorary title. The winner looks around expecting to see the real coaches and ask where are they. The response, you’re it!

Frank had the team playing harder and with more purpose. And consider this. His starters and rotation included Najara, TWill, SWill, Simmons, Hassel, Boone and CDR. Yet they only lost ONE game by 20 or more pts with Frank as coach. Come to think of it, Frank should be coach of the year.
