    Wallace and Richardson are star players. They are not Kobe or Lebron but they are both second tier star caliber. Okafor and Mohamed have been adequate inside. This roster is not that bad.

    I agree, I'd have to say the Sam Vincent 'experiment' has been a huge failure up until this point. Of course, it's his first year but man, give me Bernie back.


    And I never thought I'd say that.

    i could care less what race the coach is either, i mean, it makes sense to have a minority coach when all the players are minority, at least in my opinion. however, i just perceive the bobcats coaching hires as nothing but racially motivated, bernie has never been a good head coach, and his mistakes were pretty evident while he was here. vincent has never been a head coach and it doesnt look like he'll be worth a darn either.

    if youre going to hire a coach, the most sought after quality should be their coaching ability, not their race, something the bobcats dont appear to realize, and i think the majority of charlotte realizes it, which is why they have very little support.

    They were playing hard and keeping it close or winning early on but they seem to have given up now. Wallace being out certainly hurts but it is more than that.

    The other big problem is nepotism...Sam Vincent is JORDAN'S boy. Buzz freaking PETERSON is on this staff...need I say more?

    Unfortunately jumping ability is not an indicator of basketball smarts.

    Yeah, the problem definitely goes back to Jordan.

    You bring up a good point about the staff though, you'd think there was a lot of talent there. Paul Mokeski (sp,) Jeff Capel Sr., Phil Ford, Buzz Peterson, perhaps there are too many coaches?

    They need to just bite the bullet and pay what it takes to get a real coach who has a track record of winning.
