Looks like Patrick Ewing and Dave Joerger are the early possibilities.

Jerry Sloan is apparently interested in coaching for the Magic or the Bobcats.

**Basel** · 05-22-2012, 04:54 PM

Sloan would be a great choice, in my opinion. He's already come out and said that you can't always start at the top, so it's not like he doesn't know what he'd be getting himself into.

JonMatrix · 05-22-2012, 05:15 PM

And even with him as the coach, the roster should still be bad enough for them to be a lottery favorite next year.

The only obstacle I see is him and MJ butting heads. Sloan isn't known as a laid-back guy, and we all know about MJ by now.

But he would be a great coach for Anthony Davis, if Charlotte gets a chance to draft him.

Brian Shaw and Quin Snyder to interview.

Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan told Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing that he didn't make the cut to be the team's coach, Yahoo! Sports reported on Wednesday.

The former Knicks center interviewed with Bobcats management, and since Ewing and Jordan are friends, MJ personally reached out to deliver the news.

According to the report, the Bobcats now want to see where they end up in the draft lottery Wednesday before they move the interview process forward. Charlotte has a 25 percent chance, the best of any team, to get the first pick in the draft. Kentucky's Anthony Davis is widely regarded as the No. 1 player available.

Ewing is an assistant coach for the Orlando Magic. Among the names in the mix for the Bobcats are Golden State assistant Mike Malone, former Utah coach Jerry Sloan, ex-Portland coach Nate McMillan and Cleveland assistant Nate Tibbetts.

Charlotte didn't bring back Paul Silas after a 7-59 record this season.

Please don't steal Brian Shaw.

This is what posters on the Pacers board are saying about the B Shaw interview: http://www.basketballforum.com/india...ching-job.html

**Diable** · 06-03-2012, 01:02 PM

I want Mike Malone. He probably gets better offers though.

**RollWithEm** · 06-03-2012, 01:27 PM

What do you even know about Mike Malone? Has he ever been a head coach anywhere?

**Diable** · 06-03-2012, 02:30 PM

Malone can coach. I love what he did with the Hornets. He can coach defense and since we don't have any hope of being good on offense I want Mike Malone. Which one of those other guys has ever been any damned good as a HC?

I guess it would be better if we could have gotten Jesus to be player coach. I don't suspect this guy will lose a lot more games than anyone short of Jesus would have.

Incidentally MJ should sell the ****ing team if he's too big of a cheapskate to pay for a real coach.

BeeGee · 06-19-2012, 02:34 AM

I heard his resume went something like:

- I love gambling
- I love golf
- I love chasing white women.

HIRED!!
