Apparently winning 74 percent of your games is not good enough to keep your job in the NBA.
As first reported by ESPN’s Marc Stein, the Dallas Mavericks let Avery Johnson go today.
Johnson’s Mavericks fell to New Orleans in a disappointing five games after picking up veteran guard Jason Kidd in a midseason deal with the hope of making a deep playoff run.
Johnson is not the only coach feeling hot under the collar, as Phoenix’s Mike D’Antoni and Denver’s George Karl also are on the hot seat after first-round departures.
Both coaches have been successful coaches and won a lot of games in the league, but this is what happens when you don’t meet owners’ lofty expectations. Sometimes it’s easier to get rid of the coach than to make roster moves with hefty salaries involved.
