Scott guided the Hornets to a 20-win improvement in his second season with the team, even as it endured a temporary move from New Orleans to Oklahoma City caused by Hurricane Katrina. "The deal is pretty much finalized and I'm happy about it and looking forward to getting the season under way," Scott said. Scott led the Hornets to an 18-64 record in his first season then oversaw the largest improvement in the league last season. The Hornets were in the playoff race until the final week of the season, and Scott was voted fifth in the NBA's coach of the year balloting.</div> Source
After Katrina, Scott really backed up the city and reasured everyone not to worry about the franchise. He`s a great coach, I wish him the best.
