. >> it's lawrence frank who has been reassigned to a role where he will no longer attend practices orames there was reports that there was growing tension between frank and kidd. they called the move a result of different philosophies. it's different philosophies and that is if it. he was your coach and you had different relationship before this. it's about basketball and tonight and denver. >> you move forward and you learn. but the big thing is i'm focused and have to have these guys retteddy to go tonight. >> and now to college football usc is hoping that bringing back pete carroll's assistant will bring the thro trojan back. he posted a 34 and 29 record. they served as co-offensive coordinators under carroll. to be home and is awesome. to see familiar faces and to have my parents sit right here at a press conference when you are accepting a job. you don't get to do this. this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that i felt i had to take advantage of and jump on the first chance i got. i spent sen seven years as a assistant coach and five of those years we went to rose bowls i know

the brooklyn nets are off to a horrendous start, and surprisingly assistant coach lawrence frank hasn demoted. what happened between he and jason kidd? >> it's a continued soap opera mess, starting with the nets. i knew something was wrong when the season began and jason kidd sat two games out, and frank, the most noted assistant on their staff, he didn't get the chance to do it. they picked the assistant instead. that was confusing. then i heard things, it got worse from there. the relationship was bad and probably in frank's head, look, i could coach these guys better than jason. jason was probably hanging out with his players just a couple monthsing a. it ended up being a bad mix. first soda gate and then. kevin garnett promises they'll be better but i don't see it. >> is kidd's job safe throughout the season regardless of how the team does? >> reporter: i think it's safe but it might get to a point where he'll walk away and say it's fought worth it. he's over his head and he has to lean on his assistance. that's what frank was for. certainly will is a lot of pressure and a lot of
