Head coach Larry Brown, who took the Charlotte Bobcats to their first ever playoff run (losing to Orlando in four games) after going 44-38 in the regular season, is now going to ponder what is next move is. In a small article by the Winston-Salem Journal it says that the Tar Heel was at a crossroad, loving where he is at in coaching, but hating that his family (wife and 2 teenage kids) were in Philadelphia. With the coach getting close to 70 years of age there are many paths that you could see him take. Brown could stay with the Bobcats, look at other offers (some say the 76′ers want him) even though her said he didn’t want to coach for anyone but another Tar Heel, Michael Jordan, or retire for good. From what coach Brown said in the article he is going to go home and talked about it all with his wife. He also said that the decision will come soon…
“I don’t want this to drag on,” Brown said. “But I think the worst thing you can do is make a decision right after the playoffs. But I still want to coach, and I told that to Michael, that I don’t want to coach for anyone else.”
Asked about all of this, the majority owner said…
“I’m not going to let him go so easily,” Jordan said.
I have to say that while I am not an NBA fan, just follow it because of fourteen Heels that play in it, I would like to see what another couple of years under coach Brown would do for the Bobcats. However, with this having been the tenth stop in the coach’s career, I would not be surprised if Jordan is going to be looking for a new coach for the upcoming season. As usual, as I do for all the Heels, let me wish the best to both Larry Brown and Michael Jordan.
