Byron Scott Will Remain
2012-10-25
The Cavs exercised their team option on Byron Scott, retaining him for the 2013-2014 season. This is great news, even if it is hardly a surprise. Scott is a fantastic coach, has a history of reaching young point guards (Chris Paul, anyone?), and working his team hard. He preaches tough-nosed defense and running the ball on offense. His commitment to this team is really amazing. If you remember, Byron Scott was signed by the Cavaliers as a recruitment tool for Lebron James. He ended up with Ramon Sessions. Yet he persevered, and when the Cavs struck gold in the next draft, he coaxed a great season out of his star young point guard. Here’s to Byron Scott, our coach of the present and future. And here’s the link.
Yeah, I totally agree. Also, the Cavs need someone who understands basic offensive concepts, like pick and rolls and post-ups. Mike Brown never really grasped those concepts.
Scott’s the ideal coach for this team. It been repeatedly said how he’s the ideal coach for Irving, but I think he’s the kind of coach that Waiters needs. Waiters needs someone to challenge him to be better. Mike Brown couldn’t have done that.
