Cavaliers Fire Coach

The Cleveland Cavaliers' coach Mike Brown was fired late Sunday night. He had a great record in the regular seasons with the Cavs. The problem was that he couldn't win in the playoffs.

He said that he really enjoyed coaching the Cavs. The question is, who will coach the Cleveland Cavaliers in their next season?
