<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Sam Vincent struggled early to set a rotation and get his players to adjust to his style. Though they're 16-25 as they begin the second half of their schedule, Charlotte Bobcats owner Bob Johnson is convinced Vincent was the right choice for his franchise. "The thing that has struck me most is that Sam is beginning to really take a firm grip on how he manages the team, on how he coaches the team," Johnson said Tuesday. "I think he's gotten over, or at least it seems like he's gotten over, that first-year-coach-in-the-NBA jitters." -- Charlotte Observer</div>
