Lawrence Frank hired as Celtics assistant coach

Lawrence Frank, the pasty-skinned former Indiana University team manager (and, later, the Nets head coach), has been hired to fill Tom Thibodeau’s spot on Doc Rivers’ staff.

Frank was fired after his Nets opened this past season 0-16, but is still a good hire – not even Jesus Christ himself could have coached that bunch of underacheiving misfits. He (Frank, not Jesus) is a no-nonsense, defensive-minded coach who should be able to step right in where Thibodeau left off. He’s got some big shoes to fill, though.
