While updating the "In Memoriam", post, a pattern emerged. It's a little like the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, but more Circular rather than having a direct root descendant.
Follow the logic:
2000 Byron Scott replaced Don Casey as head coach of the Nets
2004 Lawrence Frank replaced Byron Scott as head coach of the Nets
2008 Mike D'Antoni replaced Isiah Thomas as head coach of the Knicks
2010 Byron Scott replaced Mike Brown as head coach of the Cavs
2011 Mike Brown replaced Phil Jackson as head coach of the Lakers
2012 Mike D'Antoni replaced Mike Brown as head coach of the Lakers
2013 Mike Brown is rumored to be replacing Byron Scott as head coach of the Cavs
2013 Phil Jackson is rumored to be replacing P. J. Carlesimo as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets
Conclusions?
1. At some point in the future, Lawrence Frank is destine to be the head coach of the Cavs
2. Byron Scott will be the next head coach of the Lakers
3. The NBA coaching carousel is just one big insestual cluster %$#@#$.
