I've never read anything positive about Byron Scott as a coach. As soon as Jordan left NJ, Scott's team goes in the tank.
Now, both of these things might be neither here nor there in terms of actual evidence of Scott's poor abilities as a coach, but as circumstantial evidence they seem to support him being fired.
Mo Cheeks was at least an assistant coach for like 8 years (1 in the CBA and 7 in Philly). Scott was an assistant in Sacramento for 2, and I think experience counts for something.
I'm not a big Cheeks fan at this point, but I think that replacing him with Scott would be like jumping from the frying pan and into the fire.
