Nets president Rod Thorn is still convinced that Lawrence Frank is the right man to coach the team, according to the Associated Press.

New Jersey has missed the postseason in each of the last two years under Frank, who is the longest tenured coach in the Eastern Conference.

"In my mind, Lawrence is a very good coach," Thorn said. "The players understand he knows what he is doing and they play hard for him."

Frank has a year left on a contract that will pay him $4.5 million next season.
