Most Brooklyn Nets fans knew this day was coming soon. But how many thought it would be on a Sunday morning? The news dropped as most were eating breakfast. First Billy King was reassigned and then Lionel Hollins was fired. It would later be announced that the Nets have promoted Tony Brown to interim coach.
Today’s decision looks to be made after a week of terrible blown leads and lackluster efforts. Ownership flew into town and tried to fix what’s been going on for nearly half a season. It will be no easy fix as moves since last season ended have left Nets fans still upset on how Billy King did not improve the team’s talent last summer.
