How can you have "different philosophies" w/an asst coach whom you played for and hired? Did you not know his philosophies? #Nets

Only in Brooklyn can a team be this bad and the assistant coach takes the fall before the head coach. Who says experience matters? #Nets

"@SInow: Nets coach Jason Kidd removes assistant Lawrence Frank from bench: http://t.co/IGAVuZi5Zw" <- so who's gonna coach the #Nets now?
— Coach Bryan (@DrB365) December 4, 2013
2: is Kidd simply annoyed with Frank for telling him how to coach when he disagrees? #Nets #Kidd #Frank

I have to mention this, it's not that I don't like Jason, but #Nets hiring him to be head coach straight from court was assisine & insulting

Here's the crazy part about the #Nets. Imagine if how good they would be if they kept PJ as the coach. Better yet Avery?

Jason Kidd has stopped playing and he's STILL getting coaches fired. #Nets

What's Frank supposed to do? Lawrence is like a parent. He can't just sit by & watch his child fumble around and get hurt over & over. #Nets

#Nets are the biggest joke in the NBA, first year of a 6yr 6 million dollar contract for an assistant, they've already demoted Larry Frank.

Why didn't Kidd downgrade his role to daily reporting and let Lawrence Frank coach the #Nets? #TruthBomb #help

RT @JoshFeinberg Maybe they shoulda fired Kidd & promoted Frank 2 Head Coach? #Nets (I don't think LF relates 2 nor is respected by plyrs)
— Jackie Taylor (@ThatSportsBabe) December 3, 2013
#Nets just fired their head coach… Lawrence Frank put in all the plays and verbage. Kidd just sits, stands, then sits again…
— Martin Knezevic (@NBAKnez) December 3, 2013
Brilliant defensive mind. Loyal to Kidd according to @WojYahooNBA. A guy who's been a head coach before. Yeah, who needs that? SMH. #nets
— David Muchnick (@CoachMuchnick) December 3, 2013
Jason Kidd is over his head as a coach. #nets
— Justin T. Hicks (@JustinHicks10) December 3, 2013
At this point I would have preferred that they fire Kidd and keep frank…#nets #brklyn

But a few fans defended the move:
SAME fans who were hating on Larry in the beginning of the year when he was drawing plays are upset that he got demoted lol. #nets #bk

#Nets HC Jason Kidd reassigning assistant Lawrence Frank was smart. Never good to have someone work under you who was once your boss. #NBA
