Byron Scott Fired From Hornets

It's judgement day for Byron Scott, as the coach has been released from his position as the coach of the New Orleans Hornets. This comes after the Hornets have gotten off to a truly miserable 3-6 start.

His replacement, Jeff Bower, in the general manager, and will move Tim Floyd in as his top assistant. He'll be dealing with the serious issues the Hornets have on the floor, including a shallow bench and poor offensive production.
