How and why Nets coach ended up on ‘Rachael Ray Show’
Sports
Lionel Hollins normally is the one doing the coaching, but now he’s going to be the one being coached.
Hollins appeared on Rachael Ray’s talk show Friday morning, after writing a letter to the show asking for help losing weight.
“I get a whole lot of exercise chasing referees up and down the sidelines,” Hollins wrote. “However, I know I need to do better.”
Hollins also wrote that he chose Ray because,“you are much cuter than Dr. Phil, have more hair, seem more fun and you feed your guests.” Hollins came on the show to begin a diet plan with Dr. Ian Smith to go from 240 pounds – what he weighed in at on the show – down to 220 pounds over the next six weeks.
