<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Dallas Mavericks parted company with coach Avery Johnson on Wednesday, a day following the team's first-round exit from the NBA playoffs, ESPN.com has learned. Avery Johnson failed to get the Mavs out of the first round for the second straight season. Speculation about Johnson's future with the franchise had been mounting for weeks, ever since Dallas struggled to reach the playoffs as the seventh seed following its midseason acquisition of point guard Jason Kidd from New Jersey. Johnson became Mavs coach during the 2004-05 season and walks away with a 194-70 record (.735), but only a 23-24 mark in the playoffs and 3-12 in the postseason since Dallas was dismantled by Miami in the 2006 NBA Finals.</div> http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3375306
The Bobcats hired Sam Vincent because they thought he could be the next coming of Avery Johnson, and he was on his staff. Now we fired Vincent, but hired Brown. I wish we would have waited to get Avery Johnson, but thats not the Micheal Jordan way.
