Bernie's leaving the organization
Quote:
Bernie Bickerstaff, the original architect of the Charlotte Bobcats' basketball operation, is leaving the franchise, The Charlotte Observer has learned.
Bickerstaff served the team's first three seasons as both coach and general manager/president of basketball operations. After the 2006-07 season, he stepped down from both jobs, taking the title of executive vice president. In that role, Bickerstaff scouted extensively in preparation for the 2008 draft and acted as an advisor to managing partner Michael Jordan.
Bickerstaff could not be reached for comment Thursday, but a source with extensive knowledge of the situation confirmed that Bickerstaff is leaving. It was unclear whether he'll work for the team through next month's draft.

Wonder why, guess he just wanted out. I didn't like him as a coach but we probably would have been in the playoffs this year had he stayed on instead of the joke of a coach we had this year. Best of luck to him he did a good job setting us up
