Brown Out, Silas In

After a 9-19 start this season, Larry Brown steps down as the head coach of the Charlotte Bobcats.  The organization announced Wednesday that former Charlotte Hornets coach Paul Silas would take over.  In a early afternoon press release owner Michael Jordan explained the reason of Brown's departure.

"I met with Coach Brown two weeks ago about the team's performance and what we could do to improve it," Jordan said. "We met again this morning after practice. The team has clearly not lived up to either of our expectations and we both agreed that a change was necessary."

The Hall of Fame coach was only in his third season with the Bobcats and led them to the playoffs as the 8th seed last year.  This was his 13th head coaching job of both professional and college basketball.  Larry Brown is still the only coach to ever win both a NBA and NCAA championship.
