John Calipari
Success at the collegiate level does not always translate to success in the NBA.
John Calipari's short NBA stint from 1996-1999 is a perfect example of that.
During the course of just over two seasons, Coach Cal accumulated a lowly record of 72-112 (39.1 winning percentage) as head coach of the New Jersey Nets.
However, the dribble-drive offense which Calipari has mastered in the NCAA would most likely, in fact, work well at the professional level.
Therefore, it wouldn't be surprising if a professional team gave the 61-year-old a call, although he would have no glaring reason to leave his cushy, well-paid position at UK.
Lawrence Frank
During his 2004-2009 tenure as head coach of the New Jersey Nets, Lawrence Frank earned four playoff appearances—each time finishing with a record of .500 or better.
However, during his final few seasons as coach, he was forced to deal with an extremely depleted roster, and consequently, his overall record fell to 225-241 (48.3 winning percentage).
Nevertheless, Frank was always able to achieve a moderate level of success when given some talent, so it would come as no shock if the 40-year-old gets another shot in the near future.
