The 2009–10 New Jersey Nets season is the 43rd season of the franchise, 34th in the National Basketball Association (NBA). With a loss to the Dallas Mavericks on December 2, 2009, the Nets became the first team in NBA history to start the season 0–18.[1] The Nets got their first win of the season at home against the Charlotte Bobcats on December 4, 2009.[2]
Key dates
- June 25 - The 2009 NBA Draft took place in New York City.
- July 8 - The free agency period started.
- November 29 - Lawrence Frank was relieved of his duties as head coach after the team began the season with 16 consecutive losses, one shy of the NBA record. This streak was ongoing at the time of his dismissal. Tom Barrise, who previously served as assistant coach under Frank, became his replacement as interim head coach for the Nets' game that night against the Los Angeles Lakers, which the Nets lost 106–87 for their record-tying 17th consecutive loss.[3] After a two-game stint by Barrise, general manager Kiki Vandeweghe was named the head coach for the remainder of the season, and Del Harris was given a position as assistant coach.[4]
