In this economy, how is this possible?

A little late on this, but it took me a while to recover--how is Byron Scott returning as coach of the New Orleans Hornets?  I guess it comes down to money, and only money (Scott has one year left guaranteed and odds are the owner, George Shinn, has no interest in paying two salaries).  But this is devastating.

When I was in 8th grade, I played on a really bad middle school team.  Our first game of the season, the coach didn't want me to play point guard--and let me be clear, the team we were playing was good enough that it wouldn't have made much of a difference--but our team couldn't get the ball over half court.  The other team would trap our guards, steal the ball, and score easily.  This went on for an agonizing 40 minutes.  It was the most humiliating game I've ever been a part of, and I hope nothing in my life ever matches that.

However, we still only lost by 57.  I should start a campaign to hire me as coach of the Hornets--my slogan?  "I've never done worse than Byron Scott."
