08:08 AM ET 12.31 | Patrick Ewing on the Bobcats sideline? [Ewing] confirmed that he had conversations with Michael Jordan about replacing Larry Brown as Charlotte's head coach but did not say if he was offered the job. "I talk to Michael all the time, so there definitely was a phone call," Ewing said Thursday. "It depends on what we talked about." Paul Silas was eventually named Bobcats coach but there is a possibility that Ewing, currently serving as an assistant with the Magic, could succeed Silas either after this season or in two years. "My aspirations have never changed," Ewing said of getting a head-coaching job. "We have two more years on our contract, so I'm happy."

Again i hear another black guy named to be Charlotte's coach. I think it's safe to say that whoever the Bobcat's next coach will be, will be black. Lol.
But on a much serious note, i'd go with Ewing over Silas because Ewing has more of a sense of how to deal with today's players.
A big reason why Silas was out of a job in the first place was because he didn't know how to deal with today's players.

If his own friend won't hook it up who else will? A lucrative assistant position is better than a sorrrowful head coach job... look at the mess Rambis is in now. I think he made a good decision by staying clear off the cats.

i dont think mike wanted to do that to pat considering its would be his first head job and it wouldnt be permanent you add that to Jordan about to blow up the roster and its not good for a newbie

He couldn't relate to today's players. I don't care how good of a coach you are (Larry Brown) if the players don't respect you, don't like you, and doesn't want to lay it out there for you then you won't be coaching that team for long.
I'm not sure. 7 maybe 8?

i think its only like 4 black head coaches in the league so you can not possibly be complaining about one more being added........

I'm black myself. Why would i be complaining? I'm happy about it. I'm just surprised that Jordan is so obvious about it. I at least thought he would throw 1 white guy's name in the mix just to seem fair but no way in hell am i mad about it. It's kind of funny to me in a way.
