Semi-OT: Scott wins COY, Adelman finishes 3rd
Quote:
New Orleans’ Byron Scott is the recipient of the Red Auerbach Trophy as the 2007-08 NBA Coach of the Year, the NBA announced today.
In his fourth season as the Hornets’ head coach, Scott received 458 points, including 70 first-place votes, from a panel of 125 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. Coaches were awarded five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote and one point for each third-place vote. Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers was second with 242 points (23 first-place votes) and the Houston Rockets’ Rick Adelman was third with 193 points (17 first-place votes).
Scott, the first coach in Hornets history to receive the honor, led the franchise to its first Southwest Division title and a franchise-best 56-win season. Scott guided the team to a 56-26 (.683) record, an 18-game improvement over last season (38-43, .463) and the second-best record in the highly competitive Western Conference. The Hornets also broke a franchise record with 26 road wins, finishing at 26-15 on the road and winning 17 of their final 26 road games. The Hornets were 15-26 away from home a year ago.

Re: Semi-OT: Scott wins COY, Adelman finishes 3rd
wow, I thought the voting would be closer. The media are in love with teams that "over-achieve". I'd give the MVP to Paul before the COY to Scott, but that's me.

Re: Semi-OT: Scott wins COY, Adelman finishes 3rd
I think Scott deserves it. Doc River on the other hand, I have some doubts. If I have Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen on my team, I can be a very "good" coach. My team will win. With that kind of talents, everyone can be a "good" coach by the NBA definition.
