With recent firings throughout the NBA, it begs the question: who is safe? Are there any more coaches who are on the hot seat?

So far, six teams have all parted away with their head coaches.

It started early in the season in Phoenix, where the head coach Earl Watson was let go after only three games played. About a month later, many were shocked to here that Memphis surprising fired their head coach David Fizdale. The Bucks ended up firing Jason Kidd as well after coaching the young Milwaukee team for close to four years.

Then, the NBA moved on. Coaching changes wouldn’t occur until after the final game was played, and the season was over. Jeff Hornacek was fired almost immediately after the Knicks year was complete. Orlando followed up with a firing of their own, letting Frank Vogel go after two years with the team. Recently, Steve Clifford was the latest to go after another underperforming year for the Charlotte Hornets.

It’€™s not unusual in the NBA. This is a make or miss league. If you cannot produce enough wins, you’€™re gone. Don’t agree with the direction of the team? You’€™re gone, and if you’€™re not liked within the organization, regardless of previous achievements, you’€™re gone.

So how safe are the rest of the coaches around the league? What directions are their teams going towards? Are their more firings to come? Here is a look at the remaining 24 teams and their coaches.
