Sports InsiderLarry Brown: New Bobcats Coach
April 30th 2008 01:52
The Bobcats are full of these fragile, young players who could "break" if mishandled. They've got May, Morrison, Felton, Dudley, etc. If he's going to coach this team for more than one season, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of these young guys shipped out for a few veterans. I don't see Felton leaving, but you get my drift. Young guys out, seasoned vets in. And with MJ running around upstairs in the office, I can see there being a power struggle with regards to how/ if major moves are made. I don't know MJ's agenda but if it's not the same as Brown's, there will be trouble.
For this signing to make sense, the Bobcats organization will have to revamp this team and pick up some players who have been around the block. Not necessarily old guys who are of no use, but guys in their late 20s or so who don't need to be taught the basics. Brown likes solid defense, which doesn't come easy to rookies. So personally, I don't see Brown lasting more than a season unless the team changes its strategy. Or, if the team is doing unexpectedly well, he might stick around. You know Larry doesn't like losing (see New York Knicks). Basically, he's got too big an ego and not enough patience to coach a team like the Bobcats. There's nothing wrong with him as a coach, the personalities just don't match up.
