When Del Harris left the New Jersey Nets as an assistant coach last week, it was kind of a surprise. Now word is coming from the Newark Star-Ledger that a disagreement between Harris and Nets president Rod Thorn was what led to Harris taking off from the Garden State.The agent for Harris apparently told Thorn that his dismal team would be better served if Harris took over as coach and Kiki Vandeweghe was sent back to the front office where he came from.
Thorn supposedly cut the agent off and said, "Hold it right there. All due respect, he will not be the next head coach here. So if he has any delusions about that, you should let him know its not going to happen."
And then Harris headed to the exit.
