and may very well.

…that lack a big tough enforcer down low. Sound familiar?

I’m just not sure if he would be good in the NBA.

…I am a VU alum that with season tix, so no hate here. But I want an experienced NBA coach.

Make John Calipari our coach and he can decide who to draft.

I wonder who he would draft if he was Nets coach… Wall, Turner, Cousins… or someone else?

I like the idea if bringing in a respected college coach who can teach the game to the kids.

I say keep rebuilding through the draft. We aint signing a big time FA. There’s no rush, let the kids grow. Bringing in a college coach who has experience developing kids and who could fit our youth movement.

I’d rather have Cal.

If they looked for a more experienced coach at the NBA level, I’d like us to sign the Czar.

I think Fratello is considered a lightweight in NBA circles. He acts the clown on his broadcast duties, which doesn’t bother me, but I suspect if he was considered NBA coaching material, he would of been hired by now. When was the last time he coached anyway?

who could do well in the pros, IMO. I don’t want to exclude him only because of his lack of NBA experience, but then again, most pro coaches have some quirks in their coaching style and/ or lack of success on the court. Pro experience is nice, but could be a warning of poor team chemistry or on-court success in the future, especially if they are re-treads. Truth be told, picking a coach is an inexact science. I’m sure Phil Jackson is a great coach (at least based upon his record), but he also has loyal assistants that have been with him since the beginning of time and always seems to have the best NBA players. Perhaps supportive ownership and a good supporting cast is just as important as Xs and Os.

has a nice winning percentage, but is that enough? Has he has to deal with problem players, he one-and-done diva’s and the ego’s he’ll encounter in the nba? How does his team fare when they have a large lead and how well do they play under pressure? A lot of questions to answer before throwing a name out there for Nets head coach. My high school coach has a great winning percentage, not gonna put his name out there though.
 On that note, someone a week or two ago mentioned the Celt’s assistant coach, Thibodeau. Did the research and the guy has it. Experience, working with superstars, and most importantly a defensive specialist. Do the research. You might like him too.

I’d have no problem having Wright the coach, hes one of those guys who will not annoy you when you here him doing post game news conferences lol. And I know I would get sick of hearing Marc and Jeff after a while. When you talk coaching Jay is a respected coach, a good guy, not an ego maniac like Cal, I would put him onn my shortlist. I do like the idea of Bruce Pearl as well

Every NBA coach starts off from somewhere they just don’t pop up and have a 311-5 coaching record. Gotta start off fresh somewhere.

Wright is not the answer.
Let him stay in college.
It is a better fit for him.
I would prefer Christian Laettner as the next Nets coach.
Since Coach K is not leaving Duke.
His prize pupil would make for a good solid choice because Coach Laettner would have Coach K’s ear at all times.
Now we would have the best of both worlds.
Coach Laettner knows how to win and for him to manage games it would be very easy with the young talent we are putting together.
His pro career was steady but not dominating.
Most NBA players that played many roles understand how to identify with NBA players better.
P.Jackson, B.Scott come to mind.
A good choice if he is interested.
