PrintNets assistant Larry Krystkowiak is the new head coach at the University of Utah, and will be introduced at a press conference on Monday. Krystkowiak signed a multi-year contract late Saturday night, ending his one-year tenure under Avery Johnson, who had said last week, "We'd hate losing him."
Krystkowiak's experience at the collegiate level consists of two seasons at his alma mater, Montana, where he led the Grizzlies to the NCAA tournament both years (2004-2006) and getting one win in the tournament against Nevada. He compiled a record of 42-20 while at Montana. He was also head coach of the Bucks for two seasons. He's worked with the Nets big men this season.

Exactly. No need to release any other coaches, although I hope we get a better Big Man coach.
Messina puts a little more pressure on Avery to get along with everyone.
The power shift may mean that if Billy King + DWill like someone, Avery might have to try a little harder to go along.
This could have implications for this summer.
Billy King supposed said (to a fan) that he would never have taken Outlaw (not to mention paying him so much).
I don’t think Avery will be picking out our players this summer, although everyone should agree that re-signing Hump ASAP is necessay.
Avery should never have had
a word in signing players….Outlol and Petrofl? really? He made it so much harder for BK to built a winner…..If it comes down to having BK or Avery fired…….Avery should go handsdown

Rod Thorn should never have been allowed to be President/GM once he decided to step down. He duped even Proky.
If only we could have had Billy King in place right after Avery Johnson, none of this would have happened.
Thorn should have been fired
he should have been treated just like Kiki was. What he did was inexcusable.

he screwed the franchise just to get an outgoing jab
at yormark. proky should have taken his knees out on day 1
imagine something extremely witty here
Messina get.

You realize the money spent on coaching has absolutely no impact on player salaries or anything like that, right? We wouldn’t be saving in any area that would actually help the franchise, it would just be some more money for Prokhorov to pocket.
On June 29th, 2001, the New Jersey Nets and the Phoenix Suns agreed to a trade involving Stephon Marbury and Jason Kidd.
On February 23rd, 2011, the New Jersey Nets and the Utah Jazz agreed to a trade involving Devin Harris and Deron Williams.
A new beginning. LETS GO NETS!
We have the richest owner in sports
Monet attributed to coaches do not count against the cap.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
You must get Messina because if it looks like this guy might have a even a hint of coaching ability he’ll be more than capable of replacing Avery Johnson
Messina will simply add to coaching drama because the speculation will instantly begin with when is he replacing Avery…….we don’t need the drama! Let’s focus on the players………..
I'm not worried. Messina would need time as assistant anyway.
Avery would be safe at least 1 year, and longer if Nets make the playoffs. And saving money is not necessary for Proky. Saving cap space IS.
Didn’t Messina coach Kirilenko? I sure hope Proky has a plan to get AK well below the market price. AK is injured, so that should help keep other teams away. This summer is going to be about making smart moves, and reserve the opportunity to add a top player later on. Even if AK isn’t reliable due to his injuries, if the Nets had him this year, they could be contending for the playoffs due to the extra wins in a weak East. With AK+DWill, playoffs would be likely, with lots of cap space to spare.
I wish Coach K luck...
Now what we need is for the LSU job to open up, so Avery has a place to land when Messina takes over…
Avery should just be tossed out the window like the trash that he is

Good. Now bring in Messina
and let Avery look over his shoulder
The Outlaw and Petro signings are unforgivable crimes. Let him spend the rest of his contract kissing everyone’s ass to keep his job.

Let Avery play with majority NBA players first
Then we will judge, imagine phil Jackson coaching this slop.
