--Although Larry Brown hasn't coached in Charlotte since the 1970s, he still has plenty of ties here. His two daughters from his first marriage both live in Charlotte and his mother lives in a Charlotte retirement home.

--Brown has already said he'll retain Phil Ford, a fellow Tar Heel, from Vincent's staff. Brown said he prioritizes loyalty in hiring assistants, so don't be surprised if Brown associates Dave Hanners and John Kuester end up in Charlotte. Eric Snow, who played for Brown in Philadelphia, would also make sense if Snow retires as a player.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"I love the roster because they're a bunch of young kids who need direction. They were coached; coached under Bernie (Bickerstaff) and coached under Sam (Vincent). I want to take that to another level." -- Larry Brown, on the roster he inherits in Charlotte.

The Charlotte Bobcats were only 5 games out of a playoff spot this season. I think that just having Larry Brown as the coach will add 5 to 8 games in the win column. With Larry Brown coming in, I expect some free agents to give the Bobcats a better look. The Bobcats are under the salary cap and should be a big player in the draft and free ...(more)

 I can see that sman1965 bothers almost every team on their message board. While trash talking is fun, just seeing this guys posts makes me fell like I am back in the 3rd grade.

I am proposing a boycott of any thread he starts, and to any posts he makes on other threads as well...

Maybe he will start to talk smart sports conversation or maybe he will jus ...(more)

This is just absurd.  I have been in CLT for 7 years now and have never seen a town so unapprecative of having a NBA franchise in my life!!!!!  Isn't NC supposed to be basketball country???  This year the record does not show it but we ( the Bobcats) definitely have a team on the court this year.  Not to mentio ...(more)

After calling for Vincent's firing and the hiring of Larry Brown back in February, the Bobcats brass have actually done it!!

AND we have been complaining for years in the rest of the state that we cant see the team on TV, AND they signed a contract with FoxSS to televise the games.

AND they have a lottery pick with 2 ...(more)

Larry Brown is an awsome coach.  He is a leader that the Bobcats need just like my Pistons needed the Championship year with LB.

Great pickup and good luck next year with my favorite coach.

I think Nelly could have done the same job this year.  And he'd sell more tickets and could sign the halftime show...

I just cant call this place the Time Warner Cable Arena, I cant stand Ted Turner and I dont understand why the Bobcats didnt think about the Atlanta hatred that Charlotte has and the fact that TWC is based in Atlanta, so I'm looking for a nickname;

How about, The Jack.

A source close to Larry Brown says the Hall of Fame coach would be receptive to speaking with the Charlotte Bobcats, should their head-coaching job become available.

Currently that's not the case: The Bobcats are still reviewing the job performance of first-year coach Sam Vincent, whose team finished with a 32-50 record.

i dont know what seed charlotte will be coming in but if they play for the lottery and they get one of the top 5 picks in the draft i strongly suggest that they draft Tyler Hansborough because as a UNC fan ive seen Sean May and Raymond Felton develop as player ...(more)
