Jason Kidd and Mark Jackson both shared supportive words before Wednesday's game between the Brooklyn Nets and Golden State Warriors.
Kidd is a rookie coach straight out of his NBA career and says he looks toward Mark Jackson as "my role model." Jackson became the Warriors' head coach after a long broadcasting career.
“He’s gone from playing to being a head coach and being a very good head coach,” Kidd said. “I’ve talked to him throughout the season.
"Hopefully I can become a coach like him.”

Williams and Lopez have been hurt literally all year. Their two best players.
you cant be a top point guard of all time and a bad coach.

Lawrence Frank played Andre Drummond as little as humanly possible, it's a wonder he was even able to get a high-profile assistant job.

Not saying Lawrence Frank is some great coach. But he is a better coach than Kidd, and there's no Drummond (or other young player particularly deserving of minutes) on the Nets.

Frank was brought in to be defensive coordinator. The Nets are 27th defensively, after ranking 17th last year.
Frank is a marginally better head coach than Jason Kidd is right now, but that's not what he was hired for. He was hired to fill a role, and it wasn't head coach.
The Nets have lost games because of injuries to key players (Deron Williams, Brook Lopez, Andrei Kirilenko) AND the fact that KG and Pierce fell off a cliff in an unprecedented manner. Lawrence Frank would not be squeezing any more blood out of the KG/Pierce stones than Kidd.
