The Nets announced Monday that new assistant coach Gordon Chiesa has resigned due to family reasons. Chiesa had been hired this summer after 16 seasons with the Jazz and apparently, his son wanted to go back to Utah. The Nets now have three assistants remaining: Bill Cartwright, Pat Sullivan and Tom Barrise.
