With head coach Jason Kidd removing top assistant Lawrence Frank from the bench, it appears the Brooklyn Nets' putrid start has claimed its first victim.
The Nets released the news via their official Twitter feed on Tuesday afternoon:
Apparently, Frank's "philosophies" didn't include staring blankly into space and deliberately spilling drinks on the sideline.

Netw3rk had a field day reminding everyone of Kidd's penchant for coach-killing as a player.
Some of the comments got a little dark, but by and large, they were good for a hearty chuckle.
Nobody's crying for Frank, though. He had one of the best deals we've ever seen for an assistant coach. So as long as his new role doesn't include mopping the floors or selling $14 nachos at the Barclays Center concession stand, he'll be in good shape.
