Bobcats fire first-year coach Vincent

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - The Charlotte Bobcats have fired coach Sam Vincent after one season.

The team announced the move Saturday. The fourth-year franchise had hoped to make the playoffs for the first time this season. But the Bobcats went 32-50, and that put Vincent's job in jeopardy.

Part-owner Michael Jordan had taken a gamble in hiring Vincent. Vincent had never been an NBA head coach and had spent just one year in the league as an assistant.

MJ would be the worst coach ever. They need to get a guy with at least some coaching experience.

Sam wasn't ready, but the Bobcats didn't necessarily underachieve. Jordan needs to stop paying max money to role players and acquiring UNC players like he's running a D-League team.

Hmm..

I think they did underachieve, but that's to be expected with a rookie coach, my best guess is that if Larry Brown wasn't available Sam Vincent might still have his job.

I'd be surprised that Larry Brown would want a big rebuilding job at this point, but oh well.
