Head Coach Sam Vincent of the Charlotte Bobcats was fired after just one year on the job:
The fourth-year franchise entered the season with hopes of making the playoffs for the first time, but went 32-50.
Vincent clearly suffered growing pains. He struggled to find a consistent rotation, constantly shuttling Raymond Felton between point guard and shooting guard. Vincent also angered players for questioning their effort and commitment in front of reporters.

Normally, this would not be big news but if you look at this firing along with the fact that Larry Brown resigned as 76ers Vice President and is said to be looking to getting in to coaching again, then you have to figure Larry Brown is going to be the next coach of the Charlotte Bobcats.

Brown and Jordan have ties from their University of North Carolina days, so you have to figure this is the direction they are going to go in. I think this would be a good move for the Bobcats, who have a good young group of guys who would react well to the coaching of Brown.
