Don't kidd yourself.  The 1st 3 1/2 years of Frank's tenure in NJ were's so great either, even with the future Hall of Fame and future NBA Champion PG, Jason Kidd. The last 3 years of Frank's tenure were horrible. Over all, my opinion is Frank under-achieved in NJ, while the team got progressively worse almost every year. “”But to gloss over his first four years as “oh, that’s just because he had Jason Kidd”.”

Don’t kidd yourself.  The 1st 3 1/2 years of Frank’s tenure in NJ were’s so great either, even with the future Hall of Fame and future NBA Champion PG, Jason Kidd.

The last 3 years of Frank’s tenure were horrible.

Over all, my opinion is Frank under-achieved in NJ, while the team got progressively worse almost every year.

That is a worse idea than signing Fennis Dembo to a long term contract. If you are going to yell, at least make a good point. By associate head coach, do you mean Co-head coaches???

The man has won NBA titles as a player and I believe 3 WNBA titles as a coach. He still worked the X's and O's aspect to the game in the wnba, so the argument on whether he would be successful in the NBA is sort of absurd. The team needs a stern general, which Bill has proven to be. Woodson could still be a candidate for an assistant job. Defense wins championships. Bill IS defense. Hire Laimbeer.
