East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former NBA head coaches Sam Mitchell
and Larry Krystkowiak have been named assistants for Avery Johnson with the
New Jersey Nets.
John Loyer, Popeye Jones and Tom Barrise were also named to Johnson's staff.
"Avery has assembled a staff that brings a wealth of NBA experience to the
sidelines," said new Nets general manager Billy King. "Their collective
knowledge of the game, gained from both playing and coaching in the league,
will be an invaluable asset to the head coach as well as our players."
Mitchell will be the lead assistant. He was the 2006-07 NBA Coach of the Year
with Toronto and led the Raptors to a record of 156-189 with a pair of playoff
appearances in his four-plus seasons.
Krystkowiak has 12 years of coaching experience in the NBA, CBA and college.
He was a head coach with Milwaukee for part of the 2006-07 season and the
entire 2007-08 campaign, posting a record of 31-69.
Loyer will return for a second season as a Nets assistant after spending four
years in the same capacity with Philadelphia. Jones was a member of Dallas'
player development staff for four seasons after an 11-year NBA playing career.
Barrise will start his 15th season with the Nets and his seventh full year as
an assistant coach.

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
