    Mike Dunlap is one and done with the Charlotte Bobcats.

    The Bobcats fired Dunlap as coach Tuesday after a single season.

    The Bobcats went 21-61 under Dunlap, finishing with the second-worst record in the NBA ahead of only the Orlando Magic.

    Bobcats president of basketball operations Rod Higgins said he and general manager Rich Cho met with players and Dunlap before approaching owner Michael Jordan and asking him to make a coaching change.

    "The change was allowed," Higgins said.

    Mike didn't deserve it. Had nothing to work with. I knew he was fired the day he and Ben Gordon had a confrontation.
