Bobcats part ways with Silas, begin search for new coach


CHARLOTTE, In. C. (AP) -- The worst team in NBA Andrew Bynum Jersey history will have a new coach next season. The Charlotte Bobcats have do not restore coach John Silas' contract after the team finished 7-59 this year for the worst winning percentage in little league history (#(. 106). "We have been talking internally as to what is best for us going forward, inch Bobcats us president of basketball operations Fly fishing line Higgins said at a news conference Mon. "The record kind of speaks for itself. When you look at the youthfulness of this roster... we just all felt collectively that the change was something we wanted to do at this time. "The 68-year-old Silas, who told The Associated Press late in the season he wanted to "see things through" and coach one more year, said Mon he found out earlier in the day he would not be brought back. Silas said he was not surprised by the Peyton Manning Jersey decision. "I'm ok with that, inch he said. "I have had a very successful career coaching and playing and it's really time to move on. "Silas said he was stated a job in the organization by team owner Michael jordan and said he's settlement from coaching. It's unclear that will replace Silas, who leaves with a 32-88 record at Charlotte. Higgins said a search for his replacement begins immediately. "We do not have a routine. We begins as soon as this presser is over, inch he said. "I just don't want to say there is a time frame. We plan on finding quite a few people. We want to find the proper guy. "Higgins said Silas' son, Stephen Silas -- who served as an admin under his father and led the team in several games -- will be interviewed for the job, but added finding someone with Peyton Manning Jersey heading coaching experience "is important. ""We want someone who wants to win, inch Higgins said. "That's the main quality. We will have quite a few candidates. I would say there are quite a few people who come into mind. "Finding someone who might be interested in taking on the last-place Bobcats might not be easy. They're light on talent and experience and it could be a long way from competing for a playoff spot. Bobcats general manager Rich Cho understands this job might not be for everyone. "Those are the type of coaches we don't want to bring in, inch Cho said. "I want somebody that will experience the opportunity and view it as a challenge. It is certainly easy to go to an absolute team and take that opportunity. But I need somebody in here which would look at this as a great opportunity and a Reggie Miller Jersey challenge and an opportunity to build something from the ground up. "Silas was in a painful situation heading into the season with a young and inexperienced team, plus a shortened offseason that limited practice time. Injuries to top players like Corey Maggette, D. J. Augustin and Gerald Henderson did not help. "I respect John to the greatest, inch Higgins said. "He wanted to achieve success but it was an unfortunate thing that it didn't happen. "Late in the season, Silas was involved in an altercation with forward Tyrus Thomas, shoving him in the locker room following a loss. The two had gotten into a quarrel and must be separated. But Higgins said that didn't factor into the decision to part ways with Silas. Players tried to rally to his defense after the season to save his job, but to no avail. "I think John did the best Josh Smith Jersey he could with the guys he previously on to the ground, inch Maggette said Friday. "We experienced a year where night after night guys were taking place with injuries and you're shooting under 30 percent from the field. You just can't win any games that way. That's tough. So hopefully they offer him to be able to show what type of a coach he is and what he can bring to the table here. "But in the end it was hard for the Bobcats to rationalize keeping him. These were last in the little league in reviewing and shooting percentage and lost 23 games by 20 or more points. Silas said he's unsure what role he will have with the Bobcats dancing, but hopes to have some input on personnel decisions. The Bobcats are guaranteed one of the top four recommendations in the NBA draft and might Joe Johnson Jersey have the No. 1 pick overall and a shot at Kentucky's Anthony Davis. They're also expected to be extremely aggressive in free agency, trying to build with some young talent. "I really know this team and I think I realize this team better than anyone because I've had them for a whole year, inch Silas said. "So I hope I can be a part of making some decisions as to who we bring in here... All I want to do is see this team be successful. The people in Charlotte deserve it. "Silas entered the growing season with a career coaching mark of 380-429 and a 13-16 mark in the playoffs in 11 months as an NBA coach. He previously trained the North park Clippers, Charlotte Hornets, New Orleans Hornets and Cleveland Cavaliers.
