    LA Times Wrote:<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>DENVER ? Phil Jackson knows who should be coach of the year: not him. "I shouldn't be there," he said Thursday. "There's so many other guys that have done a great job here this year." He mentioned Mike D'Antoni of Phoenix and Avery Johnson of Dallas as coaches of teams that are "surprising people." He also said Detroit's Flip Saunders and New Orleans' Byron Scott should be considered. Jackson has won nine championships in 14 NBA seasons but has won coach of the year only once, in 1996. "I think it's an honor that I would be ashamed to win" this season, he said, before lightening his tone. "I would be hesitant to accept it because I believe it's a kiss of death." It is? "Every guy that wins it is fired in another year or two," he said.</div>

    Phil is wrong, Mike D'Toni won't be fired, Gregg Popovich hasn't been fired... but lol, Hubie Brown did step down... ah well Phil did step down from the job two years later after 96. anyways Phil has done his best coaching job with the Lakers out of his 5 years with them, but he doesn't deserve the award over Avery Johnson or Flip Saunders.

    Avery should definitely win it. The Mavs were predicted to be 7th Seed coming into the season, and 3rd in the division.
