Who hasn't been able to get a coaching job in 2 1/2 years because he went 46-102 in his final 2 full season before being fired in the middle of a season.

He has been rumored for about every NBA opening in the last few years and would be again this summer. Pull up Hoopshype and search for his name. You will see him mentioned ALOT.

The team he took over in New Jersey was coming off a 12 win season. They were moving to Brooklyn so the home crowds were nonexistent. He doubled their win total in his first year. He won the Eastern Conference coach of the month award the month before he was fired.

He suffered from expectations that in retrospect looked ridiculous.

The Nets are by far one of the most dysfunctional FO's in the league. They've spent more money than anyone in the NBA and traded away all of their draft picks for the foreseeable future for a borderline playoff team in a historically weak conference.

Jason Kidd for example in Brooklyn and he may finish 3rd in the COY voting this season.
