...but it is hard to call him a bad coach anymore.

I thought it was a bad move at the time, but when the Nets reeled off 14 straight wins, who was I to question Thorn's judgment.

Not to mention rumors that this was also done to appease Kidd.

Yes, I'm sure he's so thinking about that right now too.

No but his COY award does. So does the fact he has his team on track to get to the NBA finals. Also the fact his team was one of the winningest teams in the toughest division in the league.

As always your personal issues, always clouds your judgment. The man has become a much better coach. It's 2008, get over it.

So you are saying a COY award means someone is a great coach?

Please tell me where I've said he hasn't improved as a coach.

no, of course the COY doesn't mean your a great coach. it's a roation of coaches that get it every year, franks turn might be next. ::sarcasm::


if you think he's imrproved as a coach then there is no argument. you're being sour about the past but that was 5 years ago, a bad coach doesnt take his team to close to 70 wins, and to the WCF semi finals and possibly the finals.

worst is, the nets are made to look like the bad guys in this. you know ESPN and the other BS commentators are going to kill the nets for letting him go after such success and rightfully so. we fired him to appease an asshole and then we traded that same asshole so there was no sense in firing him

Explain Sam Mitchell getting the award

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>if you think he's imrproved as a coach then there is no argument.</div>

Wrong. Scott isn't a great coach, nor is he close to being a great coach. Neither of those statements is me saying he is a bad coach. Scott was a bad coach when he was with the Nets and he has improved.

Chris Paul could make any coach look good and he has done wonders for Scott.

 

[jirohkanzaki]

i believe byron scott, sam mitchell and doc rivers are 3 of the worst coaches in the league...yet they are all winning...lawrence frank and scott skiles i believe are just average...i like jerry sloan, greg popovich, eddie jordan and phil jackson (he is a very good coach but not as great as he thinks he is)...of the 3 of worst coaches i mentioned, they are geniuses compared to isiah thomas...

 

[rory]

Hey, I've been a Byron basher for a long time, but if he gets past the Spurs, I'll admit I was wrong, and bump him up in my mind to "slightly better than average"

 

[ly_yng]

Byron is a good enough coach that he's no longer a liability. He might get beat on a few plays out of timeouts here and there, but for the most part his teams are philosophically and emotionally sound. He's a much better "big picture" manager than a details guy, which is OK when you've got a brilliant point guard making half of your offense up on the fly.

The crown jewel of Byron Scott's NJ resume was getting Kenyon Martin to play under control, which turned him into an all-star. I think he's had similar success developing Tyson Chandler, David West and Chris Paul. Hell, even Stojakovich is playing some of the most inspired basketball of his career.

I'm not saying he turned these guys into talented basketball players, but I think he did a lot as far as getting them to effectively harness their talent. Re Deke: maybe he's just better at doing it with young guys than old ones.
