Brooklyn Nets: Kenny Atkinson is the Best Coach They’ve Had in Years

Since 2000, the Brooklyn Nets have had 10 different coaches (including interim). Over that same time period, the Nets have amassed a 584-910 record — a win percentage under 40 percent.

The list of coaches for the Nets includes such vaunted names as Byron Scott, Lawrence Frank, Tom Barrise, Kiki Vandeweghe, Avery Johnson, P.J. Carlesimo, Jason Kidd, Lionel Hollins, Tony Brown and now Kenny Atkinson.

Only Scott (.517), Carlesimo (.648), and Kidd (.537) were able to have winning records during their time on the sidelines with the Nets. The bar for being a great coach within the Nets organization has been lowered over the last decade and a half.
