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.

Jason Kidd decided to remain with the Nets as a free agent in 2003, passing over what could have been a golden opportunity to join the Spurs.
"It may be a silly excuse, but I wanted to try to win a championship on my own, and we had that opportunity in New Jersey," Kidd told the Dallas Morning News. "Then, the Nets went in a whole different direction.
"San Antonio did everything right. I just didn't make the right decision at the time."
Unsure of whether or not Kidd was really expressing regret, the News then asked if he wished he had joined the Spurs.
"Well, they've won two championships since then," Kidd said. "I might have had a ring by now."
