A Frank Conversation: Breakfast With the Franks

Ever since the Nets hired Larry Frank as their full-time head coach, the Teaneck native has burrowed a special place in the hearts of the No Regard editorial staff. Be it his passion for hoops, his boyish looks and demeanor, or the fact that he has two first names, whatever the reason, simply stated, we heart Larry Frank. This undying passion is the motivation behind our new feature: A Frank Conversation, where we look at a hypothetical conversation in the life of the legend, Lawrence Frank.

Breakfast at the Franks:
(Larry Frank is eating pancakes with syrup and is drinking a tall glass of OJ. Susan Frank, Larry's wife, is preparing school lunches for the Frank's two daughters, and Larry. Larry is scribbling notes.)

Larry: Susan, question for you!

Susan: Yes, Larry?

Larry: What sort of offense does the coach of our daughters' basketball team run?

Susan: They don't play basketball.

Larry: Well, I don't have time to find out for sure, but I really hope that isn't true! Susan, question!

Susan: Yes, Larry?

Larry: I can't wait to work with Rodney Stucky on his post-up game.

Susan: That isn't a question, Larry.

Larry: ...

Susan: Do you want the pizza Lunchables today or the ham and cheese?

Larry: Don't care, Susan. I'm busy right now.

Susan: Okay, pizza it is.

Larry: Susan!

Susan: Yes, Larry?

Larry: Good pancakes today, Susan. Thank you.

Susan: You're welcome, Larry.

(The Frank children walk down the stairs, preparing for school)

Larry: Girls, pop quiz! Who's the best point guard currently playing in the NBA?

Daughter #1: Chris Paul?

Larry: Nope! Rodney Stuckey, once I work on his pick-and-pop decision-making.

Daughter #2: Okay Dad.

Larry: Girls! Have a good day, listen to your teacher, and work on your left hand!

Daughter #1: We don't play basketball, Dad.

Larry: Girls! Please don't break Daddy's heart. Susan?

Susan: Yes, Larry.

Larry: Good OJ this morning...

Susan: Thank you, Larry.
