Nets' coach Lawrence Frank said he was never really worried because of the support the front office have shown, and he doesn't want to let anything get in the way of work.

"I read it," Frank said, "but my focus has to be doing my job because that's all I can do.

"It's very easy when things are going bad to say, 'Let's change the player, change the coach.' Sometimes the hardest thing, and sometimes it works out to be a good move, is staying the course when you believe in each other."
