He should get another shot. A coach really should get 3 years. They gave him a crap squad last year and then what, 27 games? Not fair.

I hope he isn't on tv. Like the old saying, the guys has a face for radio and the voice for morse code. He should just go away for awhile.

Jim Buss already writing down his name in the worthy mr. pringles sucessors list

Look out for John Calipari to take this job in the near future.

Avery sucks, but Deron really is a whiny little b.itch.

In fact, the Nets have made P.J. Carlesimo the interim head coach, sources tell Y! Sports.

He is honestly a very solid coach. His son is very pissed on right now and I'm slightly saddened also but only Stan will make me happy. I watched the Magic intensely when Vince was with them and he is a great coach. Honestly though, going 11-4 in 15 games then going 3-10 in 13 games deserves termination.

Avery has done very good with this team in my opinion. It's not his fault that Deron is scrubbing it out and Joe 'old man' Johnson is an old ass man.

[Y2Gezee]

LOL. Worst firing in a long time. Avery is a very good coach...IMO one of the best in the league. The style they play is a style that allows them to get their bigs involved, as Brook isn't a pick and roll player, he needs iso post up opportunities. Plus Deron should be able to play that style, as well as Joe Johnson.

The Nets suck because of Deron Williams, not Avery. Watch their defense suffer.

The thing is, Deron has no excuse anymore...and people like Avery. He's not D'antoni.
