This no knock on Byron Scott, who deserves a lot of credit. But damn, everybody who has won it has pretty much been on the hot seat.

2000-01 Larry Brown Philadelphia 76ers
2001-02 Rick Carlisle Detroit Pistons
2002-03 Gregg Popovich San Antonio Spurs
2003-04 Hubie Brown Memphis Grizzlies
2004-05 Mike D'Antoni Phoenix Suns
2005-06 Avery Johnson Dallas Mavericks
2006-07 Sam Mitchell Toronto Raptors
2007-08 Byron Scott New Orleans Hornets
Okay, okay, Pop won it in the 2002-03 season. But a lot of us think he should win it every year (present company included :lol). With this award's track record, they can keep it far away as possible.
