Part 3. The Wrap: NBA Head Coaches: From where do they come?
Currently, there are five NBA Head Coaching positions open. There is speculation that a sixth, the Atlanta Hawks, might also open. There is also speculation that Mike Brown, Cleveland Cavaliers, could lose his job if the Cavs fail to win a chapionship this year. Replacing Brown would give LeBron James the opportunity to select his own Head coach, keeping him with the Cavs.
This is the third part of our series and will look at the “unemployed” former NBA Head …

The Larry Brown impact:
It is difficult to discuss the impact Head Coach Larry Brown has had on the Charlotte Bobcats without some discussion about the kind of team he inherited. The Bobcats had two Head Coaches before Coach Brown arrived in Charlotte, Bernie Bickerstaff and Sam Vincent.
Bernie Bickerstaff was hired as the first Head Coach, and also as the General Manager, for the new Charlotte franchise. The Bobcats became known as an overachieving group of players that steadily increased their wins with Coach Bickerstaff at the helm. I dislike “faulty …

Apparently the all-encompasing suck that is more commonly known as “Sam Vincent’s coaching ability” has managed to get hem canned from his latest gig as head coach of the Anaheim Arsenal of the NBDL.
According to Ridiculous Upside, Paul Mokeski  (another former Bobcats assistant) is running the show.
Paul Mokeski is now the head coach of the Anaheim Arsenal.  I don’t know when it started, but it sounds like Sam Vincent hasn’t been travelling with the team for a little while now.
If anyone has any detail on what got him fired this …

This picture says everything that needs to be said about the Charlotte Bobcats coaching situation.
Paul Silas, Rick Carlisle, Doug Collins, Larry Brown… Someone PLEASE SAVE US.

In the potentially epic Sam Vincent photoshop thread , Coach gets a new pairof pants and has a guest appearance on Wheel of Fortune.

Jermareo Davidson has a solid night in his first D-League appearance:

Amazingly, if the playoffs started today  the Charlotte Bobcats would only be 1.5 games out of the #8 spot in the eastern conference. And thats after suffering through losing streaks of 7 games, 4 games and 3 games. Lets hope …

In a recent  article from HoopsWorld, they discuss what the Bobcats are missing. This is their take :

The most glaring question mark in Charlotte’s lineup is in the
backcourt. In an unexpected move, head coach Sam Vincent granted Jeff
McInnis the starting point guard role and moved Raymond Felton to the
two spot. This change followed the Nazr Mohammed trade, which shook up
the lineup, but McInnis had done little to warrant the promotion.
Besides, Felton had already established himself as a point guard and he
admitted that although he will play wherever Vincent puts him, …

Wise words from Keetch 

Dear Sam: 
Here are your instructions for November Bobcats basketball.
Don’t experiment anymore.  Let’s try to win k?
Go ahead and start Hermann, he’s a veteran and he’s pretty good at all facets of the game.  Can’t lose with Fabio.
Scrap
the 2 point guard thing (who’s idea was that, was it Mokeski?).  Cut
back McInnis’ minutes and give DA some playing time.  Again…quality
leadership.
If you don’t mix in Davidson, Dudley and Hollins, we
will fire you.  These guys are powerful talents that give us an
exciting future; but only if they get a …

That scraping sound you hear is either a) Kris Jenkins polishing off his 10th straight bowl of Frankenberry, or b) Charlotte basketball fans collectively scratching their heads over the news that Sam Vincent is the Bobcats’ new head coach.  It’s absolutely impossible for me to analyze anything of his professional background, because he basically hasn’t a professional background.  However, I can confirm that he is NOT related to former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent (nor is he a fan, as he is on the record as being loyal to Ace Frehley*).    …
