Brian Winters and Dan Leibovitz are under strong consideration to fill out Mike

Dunlap’s coaching staff with the Charlotte Bobcats, the Observer has learned.

Winters, 60, would serve as a veteran presence on the bench with Dunlap, who has not previously been a head coach at the NBA or Division I college level.

A former star at South Carolina, Winters coached the Vancouver Grizzlies for most of their first two seasons (1995-97) and was also a head coach in the WNBA with the Indiana Fever. He was a longtime NBA assistant with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Atlanta Hawks, Denver Nuggets and Golden State Warriors following a nine-season NBA career that included two All-Star appearances.

Although Dunlap isn't expected to name a lead assistant, Winters' NBA experience figures to be valuable, considering Dunlap spent only two seasons on an NBA bench with the Denver Nuggets.

Winters has local ties, as his son Brendan played for Davidson. Brendan Winters was Southern Conference player of the year in 2005, scoring a career-high 33 points against Chattanooga to secure an NCAA berth in the Southern Conference tournament. Brian Winters and Davidson coach Bob McKillop grew up together on Long Island.

Leibovitz is a college coach with ties to Dunlap. A former player at Pennsylvania and Franklin & Marshall, he’s been an assistant at Temple and Penn, and served as Hartford’s head coach from 2006 through 2010. He was top assistant to John Chaney at Temple and served as acting head coach when Chaney served a five-game suspension in 2006.

Winters and Leibovitz would join Rick Brunson and Stephen Silas on Dunlap’s first

staff. A highly successful Division II coach, Dunlap spent the last few seasons as an assistant with the Nuggets and Arizona, Oregon and St. John’s.

      Crazy stat

      By trucpfan · Posted

      It didn’t feel like we’re the Bills bc we’re not a consistent conference contender yet we’re a rebuilding team. But with the game on the line we played just like the Bills went straight down the field and scored a tuddy then converted a 2pt conversion I have to give credit where credit is due. And the chiefs played us like we were the Bills in an AFC championship game, drive down the field and kicked a walk off FG to win at the end very similar to me. Are saying our defense stunk yesterday? Vs an elite offense team with elite coaching an elite QB man idk what you want them to do. KC does these things to the best defenses in the league consistently to win AFC chips and Super Bowls let’s not devalue who they are. I saw us play KC to the wire and barely lose defense did its thing as much as it could. Bingo!!! We’re also forgetting how injured we’ve been defensively this year, yes we need to build up the D but adding a few pieces and D Browns successful rehab should make us a very strong unit again. Couple that with the offense we saw yesterday and we’re winning our division.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      Canales deserves a lot of credit. I'm very pleased. He's definitely making strides with Bryce. I also think some of his lack of commitment to Bryce as the starter is to motivate Bryce. I think he liked what he saw when Bryce was benched.  Even the Defense looks tremendously better with just a couple more pieces getting healthy. Wonnum has made our pass rush viable again.  I would love to see this team with one more good player across the defensive front, DT or an edge rusher.
