Lawrence Frank did a good job in NJ, they played good D, they went to the finals twice. Their team was not all that good either,
but they made it happen. He's a guy I respect and could be pried away from Boston to run his own show.
Pat Ewing has been on the bench for a while as an assistant. He has earned some respect as a mentor of Yao Ming and Dwight Howard, and for his overall coaching acumen. He was a great player, who if nothing else, played hard every single game on both ends of the court. I can't imagine any of our players not respecting him. I can't imagine that he hasn't learned a tremendous amount from the many coaches he played for, from Rick Pitino, to Pat Riley, Hubert Davis, and coaching alongside JVG and SVG. It would be a homecoming. NY did him wrong at the end of his career and if Pat can prove in an interview that he's ready for the job, we should bring him on board.
Also, we drafted a big Jamaican kid Jerome Jordan who could use some homegrown mentoring, yard style. I don't really know who else is out there. I'm not anti MDA, I just never really liked him as a coach long term, and I think the time has come to make a change. We don't have a team that fits his style, so somethings got to change.
