Larry Brown has resigned as the head coach of the Charlotte Bobcats.
“I met with Coach Brown two weeks ago about the team’s performance and what we could do to improve it. We met again this morning after practice. The team has clearly not lived up to either of our expectations and we both agreed that a change was necessary,” CEO Michael Jordan said.
“This was a difficult decision for both of us, but one that needed to be made. I want to thank Larry for everything he has done for our team. He has played a key role in this organization’s development, including coaching us to our first playoff appearance last season. Larry will continue to be a valuable advisor to me regarding the team. The search for a successor will begin immediately.”
The 70-year old Brown compiled a 88-104 (.458) in two-plus seasons at Bobcats coach.
Former Charlotte Hornets coach Paul Silas will take over on an interim basis for the remainder of the season.
