Four NBA head coaches are in their first year. Inevitably, more turnover will ensue and some coaches will be fired or depart by the end of this season.
When teams don't live up to their NBA odds for making the postseason or winning a title, a change in head coach is one of the first places teams look at.
Here's a list of coaches who might be on the hot seat and replacements if they're fired.
