let's not forget he led those Nets to a what 0-17 start two seasons ago? I'm not saying he's the wrong choice but let's not forget what he's done with crappy teams, which the Raps are... -
Frank was passed over for the Rockets job and has interviewed with GS (no answer there yet). Someone wrote he revamped the Thibodeau defense in Boston! Why? Didnt that win a trophy? Bad move. They lost.Comment

Byron Scott led Cavs to a 26 losing streak, does that mean he is not a good coach?! He just didn't have enough talent in that roster. So just because Nets sucked two years ago it doesn't mean Frank Lawrence is not a decent coach.Comment

IMO players matter way more then coach, you can have the best defensive coach ever but i guarantee you bargs will still suck on d.ya dun noeComment

Casey never got a shot after Minnesota. He was fired when they were .500 and the team has never sniffed mediocrity since.Marc Stein: In addition to Boston's Lawrence Frank, NBA coaching sources confirm Raptors will request permission to interview Mavs assistant Dwane Casey. TwitterComment

Great point about Byron Scott. I always point to Doc Rivers. He was "crap" before getting KG and Ray Allen.AJM wrote: View Post
And his name is Lawrence Frank .. not Frank Lawrence.
I'm not all that interested in Dwane Casey. I think there are far better candidates available that should be hired over him.Comment

I hadn't even thought about Mo Cheeks....kinda like that idea. A lot.
My only issue with Frank is he'll get he team going and he'll shore up the D but the team will eventually tune him out and the Raps will pay him to sit at home (a raptors tradition). I think someone already mentioned the Scott Skiles effect.LET'S GO RAP-TORS!!!!!Comment

Franks was a media darling when he showed up w/ the Nets. He was young, bright and had the attention of his team. He was brought in as the interim head coach and the players unanimously wanted him as a FT head coach. Some transactions occured that didn't endear the Nets brass to Kidd and he tuned out. As far as I can find, it wasn't LF that was tuned out. When that team started 0-16 prior to his removal as HC, he had the talent level of an 0-16 team. His experience working with the Celts should prove to be invaluable and the changes he made to the defense weren't the cause of their demise, the lack of a healthy, quality centre, Rondo's disappearance and the aging of their key players was.Comment

a rundown on some candidates (Frank Woodson Adelman)
The Raptors own P.J. Carlesimo has head coaching experience, but he has already been eliminated from the search by Colangelo.Last edited by jbml; Sat Jun 4, 2011, 09:04 AM.Comment

Brian Shaw, Mark Jackson, or Mike Woodsen are better than Frank IMO.Comment

BC I think is more likely to go after Adelman than Frank. Frank has always been tough with his players (which I prefer). Houston's defense last year was 22nd. Adelman has never been known to prefer defense over offense. I prefer Frank.“The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority.” - Martin Luther KingComment

How can you say Brian Shaw and Mark Jackson are better than Frank when neither of them has HC experience? Jackson hasn't even coached...e2thed wrote: View PostComment
