When Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie set the guidelines for his
team's third offseason coaching search in the past four summers, he made it
clear that his approach would be deliberate and patient.
And despite a potential opportunity to land a man who fits Petrie's own
parameters of a coach with "some level of success" as an NBA head coach, it
appears the method will hold true and New Orleans coach Byron Scott will
remain with the Hornets.
Scott, whose team's humbling five-game first-round series loss to Denver led
to uncertainty about his future on the Bayou, is believed to be interested in
filling the Kings' vacancy. But the Hornets on Thursday are expected to hold
a news conference in which they will publicly support Scott and declare he
will return for the final season of his contract (worth $5.5 million),
meaning the Kings have only a short time to bring him their way. Yet
according to numerous sources with knowledge of the situation, the Kings have
not requested permission to speak with Scott and do not appear poised to do
so.
While the logistics and timing involved are almost certain deal breakers, a
source close to Scott said he has been intrigued by the prospect of a return
to the team for which he was an assistant coach from 1998 to 2000. The
inspiration was two-fold, from his fondness for the Sacramento area and the
Kings organization to his questions about the Hornets' direction.
Scott spent five seasons as New Jersey's head coach and led the Nets to the
NBA Finals in 2002 and 2003. He led the Hornets to the Western Conference
semifinals in 2008 and was voted the Coach of the Year. If the Kings were
motivated to pursue Scott, the appeal for Hornets owner George Shinn to
negotiate a buyout would be the chance to save money during a financially
challenging time for the organization.
Despite Scott being under contract with the Hornets, his status came into
question after Shinn was asked by the New Orleans Times-Picayune immediately
following the season whether Scott's job was safe for another year. Shinn
responded by saying, "That's a loaded question … . Everyone will be analyzed
and evaluated in the offseason."
A day later, Scott's agent, Brian McInerney, told the Times-Picayune that he
had not heard from the organization about Scott's future and was unsure what
lay ahead.
"I'm sure that they will get to him, and they'd probably think, 'Heck, the
guy is guaranteed $5.5 million one way or the other, and so we shouldn't cry
for him,' " McInerney told the newspaper. "But on the other hand, if there
are options and if an owner doesn't really want the coach, then ownership has
the right to say if they want to go in a different direction."
Petrie and Kings co-owner Joe Maloof did not return a call for comment, nor
could McInerney be reached.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
以上就是說，目前國王對於Scott一點動作都沒有，而黃蜂想要他繼續留著。
黃蜂就留著吧。
Meanwhile, the Kings' search has been slow, just as Petrie said it would be
on April 23 when the team announced that interim coach Kenny Natt would not
return.
While no interviews are known to have been scheduled, ex-Washington coach
Eddie Jordan is still believed to be a top candidate along with former
Phoenix and Seattle coach Paul Westphal.
目前沒有一個公開的面試，EJ仍然是被認為最有可能的人選，還有Westphal。
A host of others are being considered, from Bernie Bickerstaff (Chicago
assistant who spent 13-plus seasons as head coach of Seattle, Denver,
Washington and Charlotte) to Lon Kruger (current UNLV coach and former
Atlanta coach) to Dave Cowens (parts of six seasons with Boston, Charlotte
and Golden State) and perhaps even Rick Pitino (current Louisville coach who
coached six seasons in New York and Boston).
當然還有其他人選，Bernie(現任公牛助教，有當過13年的總教練，在西雅圖、丹佛、華
盛頓和夏洛特)、Lon Kruger(目前UNLV的頭，之前是亞特蘭大的頭)、Dave Cowens(在波
士頓、夏洛特、金州待過)甚至是Rick Pitino(目前Louisville的頭，曾經在紐約和波士
頓當過總教練--相信他應該大家不陌生，他也帶過Cisco，如果讓他真的當上了，Cisco
應該會滿開心的)
The Kings may soon have competition for Jordan, whose name has been connected
to the Philadelphia 76ers should interim coach Tony DiLeo leave his post to
return to the team's front office. Either way, it appears Scott will return
to New Orleans.
也許馬上就有人會和國王來搶EJ，就是76人。因為他們目前的代理教練應該會去制服組，
Scott也將會留在黃蜂。
--------------------------------------------------------------
其他教練的來歷之後再補上。
補充一個小道消息，有球迷指出老迪說過只要等他孩子上大學，他就會回到國王，雖然
不知道這是真是假，但至少是個好消息。
