    Source: Johnson ousted after Mavs' playoff exit
    By Marc Stein
    ESPN.com

    The Dallas Mavericks parted company with coach Avery Johnson on Wednesday, a day following the team's first-round exit from the NBA playoffs, ESPN.com has learned.

    Speculation about Johnson's future with the franchise had been mounting for weeks, after Dallas struggled to reach the playoffs as the seventh seed following its midseason acquisition of Jason Kidd.

    Johnson became Mavs coach during the 2004-05 season and walks away with a 194-70 record (.735) but only a 23-24 mark in the playoffs.

    NBA front-office offices sources told ESPN.com that both the Mavs and Johnson, feeling that a coaching change was inevitable, wanted to come to a resolution quickly so Dallas could begin interviewing other candidates and Johnson could pursue another job.

    Larry Brown will announce his resignation with the Bobcats tomorrow. The following day, there will be a press conference announcing Larry Brown as the new Mavericks head coach.

    He took you to the finals. I guess if you need a scapegoat. Just like Byron Scott was the scapegoat in NJ. I'm sure B Scott was lovin it. Sweet revenge for him. Cuban is the damn fool. He makes way too many damn trades and he let Nash walk. He ed all this up. He was also the one that traded away the future for a washed up superstar. Dallas fans are ed.

    What we regret is this didn't happen earlier when we had the talent to go all the way and was still young.

    I think that it was a mistake to fire Avery.

    Will they find anyone better?

    I understand the argument, but I don't see them getting a better coach, especially with their personnel.

    Avery and Cuban both ed up. Cuban should've fired Avery instead of making a trade. I'm glad that annoying little midget is gone.

    It's kind of hard not to fire someone when the entire team quit on him. A change of scenery will do everybody good.

    I think Avery will end up being a lot like Bill Parcell’s…such an intense coach can only work on a team for a short time. Its just too much for the long run. That’s not criticism, just the way it is.
