Byron Scott deserved it.
Doc Rivers totally should have won Coach of the Year. Why Byron Scott? Not only did Rivers' team win 42 games more than last season, but they had the best record in the NBA. Sure you can say "Well they had Allen and Garnett", but those are two guys that have never been to the Finals. They are good, but not great.
Even Phil Jackson had four guys who had been to the Finals before, in 2003-2004 (Shaq, Kobe, Malone, Payton) and his team only won 56 games.
Byron Scott didn't have the best record in the NBA or even the West.
Byron Scott deserved it.
New Orleans was not expected to do anything this year.The Celtics were gonna win this year with 3 all-stars
Not only did Byron Scott deserve it, Rick Adelman, Jerry Sloan, and Eddie Jordan deserve it more than Doc Rivers. Rivers is horrible.
OK, well, if that's the rationale, then Scott had West and Paul (no playoff appearances prior to this year) and Tyson Chandler (12 playoff games). I'll see your Peja Stojakovic and raise you a Sam Cassell. I'll see your Bonzi Wells and I'll raise you...Bonzi Wells.Sure you can say "Well they had Allen and Garnett", but those are two guys that have never been to the Finals. They are good, but not great.
Maybe the Boston Big 3 are only good not great. But their leading players have a buttload more playoff experience than NO - yet the Hornets finished an eyelash away from the #1 seed in a tougher conference.
Rivers has a case, but the right guy won.
Byron Scott deserved it. Boston has a loaded team. So they overachieved a little bit. Hornets weren't expected to do anything. They overachieved a lot. Edge goes to B Scott
Uh, the Celtics won in spite of Doc Rivers.
see series vs Hawks for vindication.

no wonder why they won more games then last year
they got 2 superstars
Post of the year
pretty much sums it up.
This post would have had so much more credibility before they lost two games in a row to Atlanta.
Because all Byron Scott has are young players (CP and West) Doc Rivers has 3 veteran stars (pierce KG and Ray)
And Sam Cassell.
Not to mention coaches a team in the weaker conference.
Boston was impressive, no doubt. But they had much higher expectations than New Orleans.
yeah the Atlanta Hawks sure did mug him
KG deserved the Coach of the Year award more than Doc, LMFAO @ Doc... he is a joke.
wgaf
hey guys, first time poster
i guess im a bit biased cos B Scott is a Lakers guy but all the talk about Doc Rivers winning 42 more games than last year is a joke cos they were tanking big time last year, everyone knows it.
Byron Scott’s team is still playing…He was an excellent choice for C.O.Y…Rick Adelman deserved consideration as well…
Rivers is a liability and will prove it the playoffs.
Good point. I almost forgot about that little detail.
In addition to all of the excellent reasons given for Byron Scott this far, add "because New Jersey totally ed him and some of the voters consider these things."
Def, I had these two as finalist for the award
