Nets Name "Coach K" Protege To Be Armor Assistant, Nets Employee

by Net Income on Sep 20, 2011 12:42 PM EDT in Springfield Armor

Chris Carrawell, who's spent much of his adult life in Duke basketball, has been named assistant coach of the Springfield Armor. Carrawell, 33, now becomes the second Nets employee on the Armor staff, joining Bob MacKinnon Jr., who was named head coach last week.

"We are so happy for Chris. He’s the consummate team player who became ACC Player of the Year. He has a great understanding of the game and loves to teach it," said Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski. "This position is absolutely perfect for him." He held multiple positions with Duke.

Carrawell's Duke teammates included Shane Battier, Corey Maggette and Elton Brand.

"He is a young, aggressive coach who comes to the Armor from a storied college basketball environment, and his passion and energy will be an invaluable asset to our players," said Milton Lee, who runs the Armor for the Nets.

Nice Move

I’m impressed that they hired this guy. He will be an important part of Coach Battier’s staff in our championship 2017-2018 season. And in the third race at Pimlico….

At first I was gonna say, ‘how is this huge?’, because the first thingI heard was Dwight saying “ummmmmm… what’s his name, uh Deron Williams”, but then he says “Anthony Morrow” and my eyes light up!

The Nets have 2 of the 5 guys Dwight Howard most wants to play with. If anybody has a chance to lure Dwight Howard from Orlando, it’s the Brooklyn Nets baby, YEAH!

So here’s what I’m envisioning. The Nets could have a Top 5 pick coming their way in next year’s draft, so a chance to draft Drummond, Barnes, Davis, Sullinger, etc. Add Howard, D-Will, Morrow, the unknown potential of Brooks and Williams (potential to be a back-up, role player, starter, star, whatever), DAYUM, what a line-up that would be rolling into Brooklyn.

If you think he actually forgot Deron Williams name....

You are nuts. He did that intentionally.

OK, you’re right. I just don’t want to believe it because its too good to be true. Looking more and more like Dwight is going to be a Net!!!!
