Finally the truth comes out. I just knew that no one was that dumb.

I just dont get why people think great players
should make great coaches. Some of the best
coaches were rather mediocre college or
pro players that had to get by on smarts, not
athletic ability. They had to find some way to
keep themselves on the court, they had to actually
think about the game.

Some coaches do no teaching.

Isiah: Stop that guy from going to the basket, he is killing you.
Player: How coach, what do you suggest?
Isiah: Be quicker.
Player: Thanks coach.

Let us not forget the great MJ
making Kwame Brown All-World.
Michael took him under his wing and...

Bill Russell was a horrible coach also.
He had not a clue how to use his players
either.

Magic....

Larry Bird .... I dont really coach.

Then of course you got Larry Brown
the nomadic depressed coach. The
Nets would not be stupid enough to
try and lap him up I hope.

Paper's in Charlotte say Larry Brown is coming here and almost a done deal. With MJ leading the working of the Bobcats + Larry Brown we got all the stars! oh except players...

The great Bob Johnson (Owner - BET fame) stated last month he was disappointed in Charlottes business community for not scoping up all the luxary boxes and not giving support. Our fault? Are you kidiing me?

After the Hornets fiasco, that is just what we wanted to hear. Charlotte's been burned once, and we just are not going to take it. The suggesting to him was quite simply..........win.

By te way Charlotte voted on the new arena a few years ago and said....ahh, no thanks. The great leaders of the city built it anyway.

At least we have Nascar....yech

Larry will make your team better.
And then he will leave, frustrated
and depressed.

No thanks.
Larry wants to play coach again for
a year. He wants to play, and people
lap him up. His contract calls for an RV.
So he can work his way back up to New York
once all their stupid contracts expire.

Thrilling, can't wait. Don't even follow the team and really don't give a shiat what happens. For the city, I'd like a winner, but, no way I coughing up a couple hundred dollars for tickets, food, parking, beer to watch them.
