These North Carolina alums stick together and I could see Larry being intrigued with this roster. playmaker15 you are completely wrong about Larry Brown. Larry loves to coach young players, as long as they are willing to buy into his philosophy. Now you look at the makeup of this roster and most of the players in Charlotte have a passion for defense. This is attractive to LB because his philosophy is defense first and passing the ball around on offense second. There aren't any selfish players in Charlotte, and most of their core players all come from big name college programs. These guys are all coachable and will respect what their headcoach has to say. If Larry comes to the Bobcats and they can stay healthy, I wouldn't rule out this team making the playoffs next year.
Man i made a thread liek this about 2 months ago. Saying if Larry Brown gets fired, I'll bet you he goes to the Bobcats. And ya'll thought i was crazy. haha I think Larry Brown could really help this team, and if HE, himself is able to stay healthy with this team and watch them develop. Watch out for the bobcats.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting playmaker15:</div><div class="quote_post">Well in Detroit he usually played the older guys, I've always thought of him as a guy who likes the veterans more than the young guys.</div> He plays individuals who earn their minutes. Let's not forget, he had Tayshaun Prince playing down the stretch in the playoff games. Of course it's going to be harder for a younger player to earn PT under Larry Brown. Most young players who come in the league, simply aren't capable of producing right away. Besides if he comes to Charlotte he won't have much of a choice, because the players here are all fairly young.
I think Larry Brown would be a good fit. He's obviously not a long term solution, but for a year or two he can help develop the players and maybe get them into the playoffs by the second year.
Brown would be a good fit not only for himself but for the Bobcats. He gets a young team with players that look like they will buy into his defense first mind set such as Okafor, Felton, and May. He can also use the #3 pick on another defensive player such as Brandon Roy. Brown won't be pressured to win right away either. Larry Brown always says that he's going to take a year off but coaching is what he does. I can't see him just sitting on $40 million for the rest of his life. My prediction is that he goes to the Bobcats or back to college ball to finish off his career.
As a Bobcat fan, this would be the best possible thing to happen..I'd go crazy if Larry Brown was the Bobcats coach...he can turn the Bobcats into a playoff team...I hope to God that this is true.
