Could this season’s NBA Coach of the Year be looking for a job before the start of next season?

It sounds ridiculous but it just might be the case for Cleveland’s Mike Brown, according to several sources close to the situation.

The Cavaliers’ front office has reportedly been in disarray since the team was bounced by Orlando in the Eastern Conference finals — despite finishing with a league-best record of 66-16 and possessing NBA MVP LeBron James.

Some key members of the organization feel Brown was badly out-coached by Orlando’s Stan Van Gundy, according to sources. One source said Cavs management was not only disappointed in the losses, “but equally disappointed in the (two) wins” in a series that went six games.
