But But But he was Coach of the Year last season!!!
He has no visible gameplans, and doesn't change anything no matter what team he's going against.
He watches certain guys get exploited time and time again and doesn't do anything.
He blames everything on "lack of effort" from his team, despite not doing his job in the previously stated areas.
He doesn't play guys he doesn't like, no matter how much more talent they have.
he's making excuses for everything, never taking the blame and admitting any faults. Yet, he calls out his players and constantly comes up with reasons why he doesn't like or play certain guys.
Obviously, CP3 sucked in this serie and the other players played like scrubs, but Scott is the 1st to blame. He should resign after tonight's game. This is inexcusable.

Have you seen the talent on that team?
The same goes for the Spurs. The Spurs can't get it done with Duncan & Parker alone, and neither can the Hornets with CP3 & West.
There is a reason why Phil Jackson is the best coach in the NBA. He'll always take his team an extra game or two in the post season. He's the ultimate motivator and the people who blamed him for getting outcoached in the finals last year are dumb. The Celtics should've beaten them in 5, and the Celtics bench was scary.
exactly, like avery and sam mitc who were fired a year later, thanks for agreeing with me![]()
Mike Brown will defy the COY trend.
Hornets should trade for Bosh.
George Walker Bush was the president of US last year.
Hornets should get Amare. Paul's skills + Amare's dunking/pick n roll + West shooting mid-range = LETHAL.
Telented Point Guards have made Scott look good since he joined the NBA:
- Magic Johnson
- Jason Kidd
- CP3
Well, Byron looks like he is in fact a 'deer in the headlights' coach (OSCL). Watch the 2003 NBA Finals... Byron had a bone to pick with Mutumbo that probably cost them a shot at the series... Looks like it wasn't a fluke. That is how Byron rolls...
I agree with you, Sonic. Scott refuses to use Mo Pete, even though Rasual Butler shouldn't be playing 40+ minutes a game. Scott absolutely refuses to make any changes or adapt.
I've never seen anyone suck off the Cavs as much as you. You probably suck you're team off more than any other fan here.
I won't be surprised if he finally makes a change for Game 5.
It'll just be the wrong change, and it will have come too late.
be careful what you wish for, it didn't exactly workout for pho thinking that dantoni was their problem.
Well, the exception is that Scott isn't a good coach in the first place.
Bill Simmons watched the Clippers play the Hornets in November. Some excerpts from that article:
"Midway through the second quarter, I asked my friend Tollin, "Are we sure the Hornets like their coach?" After all, the Nets practically revolted against Byron Scott four years ago. So there is a precedent.
We studied the Hornets for the next hour like marriage counselors.
Anyway, that Ph.D. comes down to paying attention to the little things. The way players walk toward the bench after a timeout.
And the telltale sign ... what happens when a top player gets called over by coach when someone is shooting free throws.
This can unfold one of three ways:
A. Player runs over respectfully and seems genuinely interested in the coach's wisdom. Watch what happens when Popovich calls over Duncan or Parker in a Spurs game. Total respect. They look like someone jogging over to a police officer.
B. Player jogs over, doesn't seem totally interested, but doesn't want to seem like a jerk either. This usually sums up 75 percent of the league.
C. Player does a double-take and his head kicks back briefly (like he's thinking, "Really, I have to talk to this guy again???"). He saunters over disdainfully. When he reaches the coach, he makes eye contact for the first two seconds, then starts subconsciously pulling away (first with his eyes, then with his body leaning back toward the coach), and at about the six-second mark, he just starts walking back toward the court whether the coach is finished talking or not. Everything about the exchange says, "I've just had it with this freaking guy."
I mistakenly believed that Chris Paul and Scott had an "A" relationship but in the second half of Monday's game, it was revealed that they were a "C." At least right now. Translation: I am no longer sold on the 2009 Hornets."

Yes blame Scott.
Its his fault that:
- Peja is more than done and was overpaid
- Chandler's an injury prone princess that management tried to trade, a trade that was then rejected because he was so ing injury prone
- David West is an overrated dirty piece of that has no game outisde of a wide open jumper
- Paul sucked donkey balls and flops like fish
- Worst Bench In The League
So yeah fire him. It will solve none of those problems.
But it WOULD fit in with the NBA's #1 trend this year....
Well my back is getting pretty sore these days from carrying him for so long. And some of you wonder why I slip and fall so much. It's from this bad back.
dantoni revolutionized the suns. This is cp3 making scott look good.
WTF have the Hornets done? Get past the 1st round last year. Thats pretty much it. The rode the wave for as long as they could. Now the team is broke and they will suck the next 10 years.
LOL at some of you Laker fans who are so high on Byron Scott ... do you guys really want him that bad??? PLEASE TAKE HIM!!! ....
sure he was a great player for your team, but he is a terribly overrated coach. He doesn't know how to develop young players AT ALL, he doesn't adjust his game plans, etc... He is good with one thing and one thing only and that is working with established veteran players .... he even admits that himself. so what does that say about his coaching??? anyone can look decent/good whenever they are working with established veteran players and refuses to give anyone with less than 5 years experience a chance .... Scott takes the easy route and kicks all of the young players to the curb.... oh and its NEVER his fault. the man will NEVER accept ANY of the blame.
-Byron Scott is the #1 reason the Hornets signed Peja to that ridiculous contract. Even the Pacers who had Peja's Bird rights weren't willing to pay him that much. Peja being more than done and overpaid is directly Byron Scott's fault.
-Tyson Chandler is a problem but what were the Hornet's alternatives after PJ Brown's contract expire? Better if Hilton Armstrong were the starting center the last three seasons? Marc Jackson? Cedric Simmons?
It's not that the players don't take some blame in it as well. But, Byron Scott hasn't shown much in terms of coaching.
Something you guys havent done in over a decade.
BTW, the Rockets won 2 championships b/c of Michael Jordan(not playing), which is like winning a major w/o Tiger playing.
