Byron Scott to coach LA Clippers?

New Bobcats owner Michael Jordan didn't do much to dispel the notion that coach of the year candidate Larry Brown could leave Charlotte at season's end, so Brown will continue to be linked to a possible return to the Clippers or 76ers until he pledges otherwise. Other names, though, are starting to circulate as likely coaching candidates for the Clippers. Three options that the Clippers are strongly evaluating, according to NBA coaching sources: Byron Scott and Mark Jackson from ESPN's TV roster and Mavericks assistant coach Dwane Casey. ESPN.com

Although it is widely presumed in Los Angeles that Scott is a prospective down-the-road replacement for Phil Jackson and would rather wait to see if he has any shot at coaching the marquee tenant at Staples Center within the next couple of seasons, I'm told that the Clips are serious about trying to beat the Lakers to Scott, who was drafted by the then San Diego Clippers in 1983 before being swiped by the Lakers along with Swen Nater in a trade with the Clips for Norm Nixon, Eddie Jordan and two second-round picks in October 1983.
