Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov has lofty goals for the Brooklyn Nets and they don’t include being eliminated on your home court in game 7 of the playoffs. He has visions of a championship in the near future and doesn’t think P.J. Carlesimo is the guy to lead them there. Although Carlesimo was the coach who they kept after firing Avery Johnson, you never got the sense that P.J. was their guy. Almost as if they settled for him.
But settle no longer. The Nets have announced that they will not be bringing back Carlesimo. They are strapped financially, so their roster moves will probably be limited.
Brooklyn Nets will start this off-season by looking for a coach.
The Nets announced Sunday that P.J. Carlesimo wouldn’t return, hours 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.
