The Cleveland Cavaliers ink Byron Scott as the new head coach
The Cavaliers have signed 49-year old Byron Scott to a 3-year contract to be the next head coach of the team. He was only 3-6 (33.3%) last season when he was fired by the Hornets. He has been a head coach 10 years for the Nets & Hornets in which he compiled a 352-355 record (49.8%) during the regular season. Scott also has a post season record of 33-24 (57.9%) as a head coach and he has been to the NBA Finals twice (2001-02, 2002-03 with the Nets). Scott was the NBA Coach of the Year in 2008 with the Hornets when he led the team to a 56-26 (68.3%) regular season record. Scott won three NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers as a player. He played 14 years in the NBA in which he played in 1,073 games (717 starts) and he averaged 28.1 minutes, 14.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Personally I think Scott was signed because he fits what LeBron James wants and that is a good coach who was a NBA player too unlike former coach Mike Brown.
