With tonight’s loss to Orlando, the Charlotte Bobcats are out of the playoffs and their season is over. According to Yahoo! Sports Gene Wojnarowski, that means that the odds are very good that Larry Brown has coached his final game in Charlotte.
Brown Out? Reports Indicate Larry Brown Is Done In Charlotte
Charlotte considers the chances of Brown staying as “minimal at this point,” one league source said. “They’re proceeding like they’ll be looking for a new coach.”
Brown is angling to take the Philadelphia 76ers’ presidency, and has targeted Washington Wizards front office executive Milt Newton as his general manager and the Atlanta Hawks’ Mike Woodson as coach, sources said.
Adding fuel to that fire is the fact that the Sixers seem to be twidling their thumbs in their quest to replace Eddie Jordan.
Jeff Van Gundy had been rumored to be Stefanski’s top choice, but reports have been coming out that he is not looking to get back into coaching. Byron Scott and Doug Collins have both been linked to other coaching vacancies, neither of whom being seriously talked about with regards to the Sixers vacancy.
More to come on this soon, keep an eye on Charlotte blog Rufus On Fire and Philly blog Liberty Ballers for updates and reaction.
