NBA Coaches on the Hot Seat Amid Jamahl Mosley Firing

Amid the recent firing of Orlando Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley, more NBA head coaches—including some still in the playoffs—could be on the hot seat.

The Orlando Magic fired head coach Jamahl Mosley on Monday, and he may not be the last NBA coach to lose his job this offseason, even among playoff teams.

Mosley lost his job less than 24 hours after the Detroit Pistons dispatched the Magic 116–94 on Sunday. Orlando, the No. 8 seed, blew a 3–1 series lead over the top-seeded Pistons, and the Magic had a historic collapse in Game 6 along the way.
