Nets won't retain Carlisemo

[jonathanlambert33]

After spending $350 million to upgrade their roster last summer, the Brooklyn Nets will start this offseason by looking for a coach.
 
The Nets announced that P.J. Carlesimo wouldn't return a day after they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
 
Carlesimo helped the Nets finish 49-33 after replacing the fired Avery Johnson in December, earning the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference.
 
But they spotted the Chicago Bulls a 17-point halftime lead and lost 99-93 at home Saturday night in Game 7.

Poor decision imo.

Great decision. He was pretty much running the same flawed system Avery was.... iso heavy with no movement.

He was fired like three months into the season, rarely do you see a interim come in and change everything.  They'll normally run the same system just with a few different wrinkles.  With that said, PJ wasn't the problem, the Nets are alot like the Lakers in a lot of ways.

The NBA = where you can finish 4th in your conference and not keep your job.

I  would love to see how Jerry Sloan and Deron Williams would get along after what happened lol

The problem is that in a way it WAS his system. He was the assistant coach who I'm sure had a big part in coming up with the iso-heavy system. He had the same philosophies that Avery had. Plus, I read somewhere that King talked to him about changing his system but he was being stubborn and not willing to change. He managed to turn an elite PG (at least the 2nd half of the year) into a glorified 3pt shooter.

Don't you think that has a lot to do with the rate he was knocking them down though?

Nope. We were running the same plays last year along with the first half of this year... when he wasn't knocking them down. Like I said, Avery's system. If anything, Deron adapted.
