Larry Brown a good hire for Bobcats
Larry Brown is back in North Carolina, this time to coach the Charlotte Bobcats. Will the NBA experience of Brown and his new boss, Michael Jordan, do anything for the Bobcats next season? Most likely it will. It is good to see Brown coming back to the league and doing what he loves to do and does better than most. We know he probably won't stay beyond his four-year contract (he'll be 71 when it expires) or he might not even last that long. But he will leave the team in better shape than it is now. What will really matter for the franchise is who they replace him with. Brown will raise the level of their play, but not many will be capable of following him and at least maintaining what he's grown. -- Jeff Gilbert

nice move charlotte! i agree that the bobcats should improve as early as next season. players such as raymond felton are excited to be able to learn from him. hopefully this will turn out better than the last gig in NY.

Isn't it amazing that teams go back to basics to 'revive' a team and back to a disciplinarian like Larry Brown who exemplifies that. Brown's ties to Carolina are there and probably to Michael Jordan too. But can you imagine what it would be like for a player to go to Michael to complain about Larry - I'd love to be a fly in the wall to see that player cry again.
