What is the value of a coach in the NBA?

I posted this on SB Nations - Fear The Sword Blog for fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers. In it I go on to describe some of the coaching philosophies used within the NBA and make a case why the Cavaliers should offer Byron Scott a contract extension.

It also can serve as a reminder of how important continuity can be within a sports organization. In order to implement a culture within an organization you must really commit to a vision and give it time to grow. You cannot respond to each event with knee jerk reactions. Even if the direction isn't the best one you must allow the person with the vision to have time to execute it before you decide whether or not this is the way to go moving forward.

As this is the first thing I've ever written I would absolutely love feedback positive or negative. There was no proofread or anything on this post just as an FYI and I am aware of the mistakes I made.
