The Official Fire Bernie thread

[Mustachio]

ok now im officially on the bandwagon to get him outta here

the memphis game was a terrible coaching display. and we should have won that game.

Bernie cannot make halftime adjustments, proper substitutions late in the game, and cant seem to calm his players down enough to play decent. He has developed a late game collapse which i can only describe as a lack of confidence.

We had a 10 point lead going into the 4th and lost by 13 points. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. losing a lead that big is one thing. but a one quarter 23 point collapse is ridiculous, SORRY IM PISSED

What frustrates me is that when the other team makes a run, he doesn\'t do anything. He just sits there, he doesn\'t pull the ineffective players from the game, slow things down, speed it up, Get a Tech, call a timeout.... Nothing.
He just sits there and watches it happen.

I know...absolutely disgraceful. How about Bobby Knight?? He wouldn\'t take ANY of that crap.

Id like to see BK as the sixth man, i think the guy is pretty freakin good and would make a run at 6th man award. i think thats where he would shine.

And larry brown has done nothing but harm the teams hes coached so far. he won at detroit, but that team could win without a coach. he just rode it to victory.

id like to see a college coach try his hand in charlotte. We have a young team with players who loved the college experience and would probally gel quickly and effectively with a college coach... any ideas on who we could see in Orange next year?

That is not a bad idea. I like your thinking, a young college coach would work well with our youngs players. Though not certain what coach we should pick up

to hell with being patient. I\'m not gonna sit here and watch Bickerstaff waste an entire season of Ray Felton\'s career by playing him at SG.

That jerk needs to go NOW!!!!

Write the Charlotte Observer and let the city and the Bobcats brass know how you feel.

Heres the latest from [url/www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/sports/basketball/nba/charlotte_bobcats/15937041.htm]Rick Bonnell[/url] defending the Brevin Knight/Raymond Felton backcourt.:unsure:

[dvdbumpus]

Tubby Smith, or Thad Matta from Ohio State. he made Xavier, XAVIER a powerhouse.

My number 1 coach pick would be: JIM CALHOUN because:

A. I\'m a monstrous Uconn fa, and how things are run there

B. He was Okafor and Voskhul\'s coach

C. He develops players, especially wing players(rip hamilton, caron Butler, Donyell Marshall, Ben Gordon, etc.

D. He\'s a WINNER!!

E. He\'s a great coach in every way.

On 9 out of 10 occasions college coaches fail when they come up to the NBA. I wouldn\'t look towards getting a college coach.

Whats everyone\'s opinion on getting Larry Brown. Hes a great coach.... but a little goofy.

i personally think larry brown isnt that great, hes left every franchise poorer and in worse shape than when he found it.

the only reason he won a national championship is because he had the pistons. that team could win with bernie coaching it. i wont say hes garbage, but he aint all that special. really just a name. but since he is a Tar Heel, you can bet the UNC/Bobcat love fest will continue and he will be the coach next year.

Please don\'t make me have to stomach Larry Brown. He doesn\'t play his young players and he has a history of pissing off his players by calling them out in the press.
The one thing that might save us from getting him is that Brown will ask for big bucks, and the Bobcats\' owner isn\'t exactly a spendthrift.
