What the Larry Brown hire means for the Bobcats
Counting the ABA's Carolina Cougars, the Bobcats will be Brown's 10th job as a professional basketball coach. He's a turnaround specialist in that he likes to take teams with losing records and make them winners. He has a career winning percentage of 0.577. Here is a list of his team's records before and after his arrival:
Denver Nuggets: 37-47 â€"> 65-19 New Jersey Nets: 24-58 â€"> 44-38 San Antonio Spurs: 31-51 â€"> 21-61 â€"> 56-26 Los Angeles Clippers: took over a 22-25 team and went 23-12 down the stretch, went 41-41 the next season Indiana Pacers: 41-41 â€"> 47-35 Philadelphia 76ers: 22-60 â€"> 31-51 â€"> 28-22 â€"> 49-33 Detroit Pistons: 50-32 â€"> 54-28 (NBA Champions) New York Knicks: 33-49 â€"> 23-59 As with the Spurs and the Sixers, it sometimes takes Brown two or more seasons to turn his team into a winner. The only team that Brown left as a loser without at least one 52+ win season was the Knicks, and if he hadn't clashed with management, he probably would have eventually turned that team around as well. (To be fair, when he took over the Knicks, the roster was even worse than it is now.) So what does this mean for the Bobcats?
