Sources: Ewing To Get Interview For Bobcats Gig Thursday (Updated With News!)


Recommended Posts

Straight from the NBA ESPN page...

The Charlotte Bobcats' coaching search will continue this week when owner Michael Jordan's club interviews Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing on Thursday

Ewing, a close friend of Jordan's and currently an assistant coach for the Orlando Magic, will be the biggest name yet to speak with the Bobcats.

The Bobcats are also going to interview Mike Dunlap (St. John's University Red Storm: Associate Head Coach) today and Dave Joerger (Memphis Grizzlies: Assistant Coach) on Friday.

The Bobcats are also said to have Stephen Silas (Charlotte Bobcats: Assistant Coach) lined up for an interview for an unspecified date.

The Bobcats have already interviewed Mike Malone (Golden State Warriors: Assistant Coach) and Nate Tibbets (Cleveland Cavaliers: Assistant Coach).

The Bobcats have also shown interest in Brian Shaw (Indiana Pacers: Assistant Coach), Nate McMillan (Portland Trail Blazers: Former Head Coach), and Jerry Sloan (Utah Jazz: Former Head Coach).

Patrick Ewing has a "good chance" to become the Bobcats next head coach, a source tells the New York Post.

Take this for what it's worth. Ewing has been considered a favorite by some because of his noted relationship with Michael Jordan, but the team is doing its due diligence in interviewing a multitude of candidates. There is no reason for Charlotte to rush its decision after winning just seven games this season.

    • be kind of hard with us going undefeated the rest of the year. yeah...i said it.
    • I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk. 
    • The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
