2346074, Hollins confirmed as Nets coach

I'm glad to hear he is good at developing players because even though Nets are a veteran team are future has to be youth orientated. Plumlee for starters is a 1st team Rookie last year. This year we hope to have Bojan Bogdanovic our Euro stash for the last few years joining the team.

Hollins got canned in Memphis because pretty much all the Grizzlies front office are analytics guys and Hollins isn't too much into that new way of thinking. Hollins wanted a long term extension (which he deserved) and the Grizz decided to go with the lead assistant instead.
