NEW YORK -- The disappointing Brooklyn Nets shook up their coaching staff Tuesday, reassigning top assistant Lawrence Frank to a non-bench role. Martinas Rankin Texans Jersey . Head coach Jason Kidd said Frank will not be at practices or games, and that he will be writing daily reports. He said the two had "different philosophies." "This is a decision that I had to make and I made it and we move on," Kidd said. Kidd played for Frank with the Nets and hired him when he became a first-time coach in June. Frank had spent the two previous seasons as coach of the Detroit Pistons, and earned a league-high 21.4 per cent of the vote as best assistant by executives who voted in the preseason NBA.com GM survey. Frank is the Nets career leader in NBA wins with 225. He was expected to work mostly with the defence, but the Nets are near the bottom of the league in that category, allowing 102.4 points per game. Kidd denied that the defensive struggles were behind his decision. "Different philosophies and thats it," he said. "Well figure out how to stop people." Kidd said the rest of his staff would remain as is and there would be no new coaching hires. The Nets brought a 5-12 record into their game Tuesday against Denver, which is coached by Brian Shaw -- the other finalist for the Nets job that went to Kidd. Shaw, a longtime successful assistant before finally getting his first head coaching opportunity this season, interviewed just after Kidd and said he thought he had a "pretty good chance" to be the Nets choice. "I think everything happens for a reason. Im happy in the situation that Im in," Shaw said. Tyrann Mathieu Texans Jersey .

UT Martin also has three losses this season, and is one win shy of reaching Butlers eight this season. The Skyhawks have won four of their last five, with a recent victory over Presbyterian (77-60) serving as the teams latest outing. Butler was 8-1 to start the season, but consecutive losses to Tennessee (67-55) and Indiana (82-73) set the team back to three losses on the early campaign. UT Martin and Butler have met a total of two times on the court in their series history, with each team earning a victory for the series split. The Skyhawks allowed Presbyterian to shoot 49 percent from the floor in the game on Saturday, but UT Martin was able to down the Blue Hose with relative ease thanks to 58 percent shooting from the floor for the home squad, which included an 11-of-21 mark from 3-point range. Deville Smith netted a team-best 23 points for UT Martin, adding in nine assists to his resume. Twymond Howard chipped in with 16 points, and Alex Anderson netted 12. Marshun Newell boasted a very generous stat line of 11 points, nine rebounds and six assists in the victory. UT Martins offense has been clicking this season, and it shows in a very strong 49.5 percent shooting touch and a 75.1 ppg mark. Smitth and Howard are at the top of the teams scoring leaderboard, netting 14. Houston Texans Jerseys. 3 ppg and 14.2 ppg, respectively. Add in Newells 11.7 ppg, Myles Taylors 11.1 ppg (in seven games played) and Andersons 11.0 ppg, and the Skyhawks are set offensively. Taylor, who will miss yet another game with a sprained ankle, tops the team at 6.0 rpg. But in his absence its been Howards 5.9 rpg mark that is the best active average. It was a tough day offensively for Butler on Saturday, as the team could only manage 39.1 percent shooting from the field in the loss to Indiana - the teams second straight this season. But perhaps the teams 5-0 record at home will count toward something big as it prepares to take on the Skyhawks. Kellen Dunham scored 23 points to pace Butler, while Andrew Chrabascz added 14 in the defeat. Roosevelt Jones contributed 11 points with eight rebounds, while Kameron Woods tallied a double-double of 10 points and 12 rebounds. Despite the two straight losses, the Bulldogs are still netting a very respectable 72.4 ppg this season on 44.7 percent shooting from the floor. Dunham leads the scoring charge, averaging 16.9 ppg on 45.1 percent shooting, adding in an 89.1 percent shooting touch from the free-throw line. Jones (10.6 ppg) and Kelan Martin (10.5 ppg) round out a trio of double-digit scorers. The Bulldogs have played strong defensively in holding opponents to 57.9 ppg on 39.9 percent shooting.
