Early in March, the Brooklyn Nets made the shocking move to fire head coach Kenny Atkinson. It was definitely sudden news, being that he had them in postseason contention with Kevin Durant sidelined all year and Kyrie Irving having missed the majority of the season.
But nonetheless, Atkinson is no longer drawing up plays in the Barclays Center. This has led to many airing disappointment and portraying a general disagreement over the move. The latest to do so is former New York Knicks head coach David Fizdale, who was fired in early December.
