In the wake of being fired by the Nets, Lionel Hollins opened up in several recent interviews when asked about his time in Brooklyn.
While Hollins didn’t specifically name names within the Nets’ hierarchy, or even refer specifically to the Nets, the 62-year-old — who was fired Jan. 10 by owner Mikhail Prokhorov — talked about how micromanaging and meddling undercuts any coach and how he was left shocked and disappointed at being let go.
“The main thing when you’re looking for a job is finding somebody that allows you to be you and lets you coach as you coach,” Hollins said on SiriusXM radio.
