Résumé
"This research overcomes some of the drawbacks of the study of Martínez & Caudill (2013) regarding mid- season coaching change in the National Basketball Association (NBA), adding new cases and achieving a disparate methodology. Changing a coach is an important managerial decision which does not gua- rantee improvement in the short term. Only about 12% of new coaches outperformed in a significantly way their predecessors. In order to maximize the probability of success, highly experienced coaches, with a long career as former professional players should be signed. In addition, change should be made before season advances, although it depends of the winning percentage of teams."
