Coaches can get a little absorbed in their own worlds.

The Denver Post's Adam Schefter reports that the New Jersey Nets' Lawrence Frank was once on a flight with his wife watching a TV show that he thought was funny.

So Frank asked his wife, "What is this?"

She said, "Are you serious? It's 'Seinfeld.' "

Known in some circles: Frank, asked by Schefter how often he gets stopped and asked for an autograph, said: "Does that include family members?"

Also from Frank, on why he got cut from his high school basketball team: "There just isn't a lot of room for 4-foot-8 screeners. But I was good at in-bounding the ball."
