My Take

Byron Scott is interesting to me because his story has two distinct chapters. Born in 1961 in Ogden, Utah, he made the NBA All-Rookie Team in 1984 as a player, then came back decades later to win the 2008 NBA Coach of the Year Award. That second act is what earns my respect, since translating playing instincts into coaching success is far from automatic. At 190 cm and an Arizona State product, he had the physical and developmental pedigree, but the award I keep returning to is the coaching one. To me, a guy who excels on both sides of the clipboard understands the game on a deeper level than most.
