NBA coaching carousel begins

Now that the NBA season has come to an end, the major coaching moves will begin. Some major moves happened this past weekend. Pat Riley, a future hall off fame coach has stepped down from coaching the Miami Heat, the team with the worst record in the NBA. Also Larry Brown was hired by Micheal Jordan to coach the bobcats. This move was needed in order to bring a strong leader to a team that might be on the cust of becoming a factor in the NBA.
Now the real fun will begin with the other questions about coaches. First off who will Walsh hire to be the next coach of the terrible Knicks? can anyone who is hired change the face of that franchise? This will soon be answered. Also which coach that made the playoffs, fell short of expectations and can be on the hot seat? On possibility i see is the firing of George Karl. Denver has 2 of the best players in the NBA, however they were swept in the first round. Phoenix and Dallas had championship expectations and they both look like they will have first round exits, however against very good teams. Many will say Mike Dantoni and Avery Johnson are on the hot seat, however I feel that both coaches are too valuable to fire. Another big name coach that can be in trouble is Flip Saunders. Detroit has the expectation to win the east, and if they fall short again I feel he will be fired. We can only wait and see how the coaching carousel will fall this off season.
