Yes, Lawrence Frank is a better coach than George Karl.
There was a time when George Karl was a very good coach but just as a player's skills decline over time the same is true of a coach's skills.
The George Karl of the last few years, The George Karl of the Denver Nuggets, is plain and simple not that good of a coach. From his indifference to defense, to his pathetic mind games that always backfire in the end, the writing is on the wall... One just has to choose to use their own eyes and ears instead of believing the garbage that is fed to them by the media.
As for Sam Mitchell... We must be talking about a different Mitchell S.I.C... The one "young" player Mitchell was able to integrate into the Raptors system was Jamario Moon and he wasn't that young to begin with...
Mitchell trash talked Bargnani at various points in the year and only played him because Bryan Colangelo ordered him too...
I guess lastly the other thing to take into account is that Mitchell can not adjust on the fly and is just too stuborn to change his ways. When Chris Bosh on Dwight Howard proved a gigantic disaster Mitchell never even attempted to change things up. Looking at last year it was a similiar sort of thing, not effort was made to get Bosh the ball closer to the basket...
Anyway, even if you guys want to argue that Mitchell and Karl are better than Frank I'll accept that but let me ask you this question then, how much "better" would the Nets be with either one of them?
