Nice story about Byron Scott from the NY Times. "Not to dwell in the past, but Scott’s departure from the Nets four seasons ago is Exhibit A for how a decision to hire or fire a coach can send a franchise into oblivion or catapult it to the heights."

truthaboutit The unfortunate part seems that Scott did lose his players.....so per usual, the GM gets rid of the coach. Unfortunately, that next coach, Lawrence Frank, is on the cusp of losing the players too..if he hasn't already.
He certainly lost Jason Kidd....and who knows if Vince Carter was ever found in the first place.
I do know that Chris Paul is the right choice for MVP.
Yeah--the Nets really fell into oblivion without Scott...making the 2nd round of the playoffs three times in the past five years. Thanks for the sweeping sentiments, Bill Rhoden.
