Psst Bruce... the name of "the coach" is "Lawrence Frank"
The decision whether or not to retain NJ Nets coach Lawrence Frank after another dismal season in which the team failed to make the playoffs lies with GM Rod Thorn.
Meanwhile, in another sign that the Atlantic Yards developer couldn't play a team owner on TV, he can't seem to come up with the coach's name.
NY Daily News, Nets owner Bruce Ratner says Lawrence Frank 'has done good job'
"I think the coach has done a good job this year," Ratner said Monday night at the Nets' 91-87 victory over Charlotte at the Meadowlands. "Obviously our record is not where we'd like it to be, but the coach has done a good job. I like the coach."
...
"I'd have to say we're truly supportive of the coach," Ratner said. "He's a very good coach."

"I'm not neutral when it comes to the coach," Ratner said. "But Rod and I will talk about all the decisions we're going to make."

But Ratner was quick to add, "Again, I really believe -- and I'm not just saying this -- that we have a very good coach, and he's done a very good job over the years we've had him."
