Boyish looking basketball coach Lawrence Frank lasted through 16 of his New Jersey Nets’ agonizing 16 consecutive defeats.
Vince Carter, for the most part, appeared to get along with Lawrence Frank during their time together with the Nets.
Lawrence Frank started his Nets’ coaching career with 13 consecutive wins and it could end with 17 straight defeats.
