Brooklyn Nets Lionel Hollins less a heavyweight coach than before

It started with inactivity the year he spent away from coaching. Lionel Hollins admits that while offering commentary during the 2013-14 season, his weight ballooned a bit. So like a lot of us, he did the natural thing and sent Rachel Ray a letter. It worked, as Tim Bontemps reports.

It was so successful — Hollins went from 240 down to 218 — that he’s now going to continue on the diet to try to lose at least another 10 pounds over the next few weeks.

"Before I was out of [coaching for the 2013-14 season], I was about 225," Hollins said last week after taping the show, which will air in New York Friday at 10 a.
