下課，下課！誰讓誰下課？
========================

看NBA，注意的多是球員，熠熠生輝如明星的，差強人意如雞肋的，對於教練，除了公牛王朝大名鼎鼎的Phil Jackson，我這個看熱鬧的似乎沒有什麼很深的印象。

今年的NBA轉眼又到了總冠軍的前夕，場上隊員浴血奮戰殺了個精彩紛呈，誰料場下的教頭們也不甘寂寞地大玩“大風吹”遊戲。且先不說內里是誰在玩誰，光是聽這9個NBA球隊誠徵明師就足以令人嘆為觀止了，那幾乎占了三分之一的NBA球隊啊！

有人被炒，有人炒球隊，一時間熱鬧得讓人想起國內甲A場上人聲鼎沸的一片“下課”之聲。於是，教頭的自由市場也一下子火了起來，名教頭三四個Offer捏在手裡待價而沽，象76人隊遞上辭呈後的Larry Brown，炙手可熱可謂“當紅炸子雞”。

坊間人氏紛紛預測他的去向，就在大家各說各話、塵埃未定之際，讓人大跌眼鏡的新聞爆了出來。Brown不出意外的話，將執教活塞。而年度最佳教練Rick Carlisle被炒了！這位個人認為NBA最帥的教頭，居然在連續兩次將沒什麼大牌球星的活塞帶進東部決賽後，慘遭炒魷魚，不免讓人質疑球隊決策的明智性。或許年輕了就免不了氣盛吧！那麼驕人的戰績終究也抵不過與球隊高層間的不和，只是塞翁失馬焉知非福？反正今年教頭市場炒得比球員還熱，以他的經驗和戰績只怕在待價的候選人中也僅次於Brown吧！

奇才讓Doug Collins下課，原在意料之中。只是球隊大概萬萬沒有想到Brown和Collins及MJ相交頗深，當初他兩人在奇才遭受的不公平待遇Brown頗有微詞，現在老神在在的Brown幾乎沒有可能接受奇才遞來的橄欖枝吧！若是Carlisle待價，奇才應該會有所行動。

其餘急需招募良帥的球隊還包括姚明所在的火箭，Rudy請辭後誰來接班也讓眾人引頸期待。Dunleavy, Brown和Van Gundy據說都在考慮之內。
