The Greatest Head Coach of the Charlotte Bobcats

The Bobcats joined the NBA in 2004, and are still trying to get on track. There have been four head coaches so far in the Bobcats history and none of them have managed to win a playoff game for the franchise. The greatest head coaches for the Charlotte Bobcats are Sam Vincent, Bernie Bickerstaff and Larry Brown.

No. 3: Sam Vincent (2007 - 2008)

It's not really saying much to include Sam Vincent on the list. He coached the Bobcats for just one season (2007-08) and his team finishe with an overall record of 32-50. The only other coach outside of the three on the list, is current head coach Paul Silas. As bad as Vincent was in his one season, Silas has arguably been worse. There's no question there will be a better head coach to come along and knock Vincent off the list, but it might take a couple years with how bad the team is currently struggling.

No. 2: Bernie Bickerstaff (2004 - 2007)

Bernie Bickerstaff had the difficult task of being the first coach of the Charlotte Bobcats. While Bickerstaff lasted three seasons, his Bobcats never finished with a winning record. Even though the losing couldn't save his job, it is worth noting that Bickerstaff's team showed improvement each season. In his first year the team went just 18-64. In his final season they would end up 33-49. Bickerstaff gets credit for taking over a bad team and at least making them competitive.

No. 1: Larry Brown (2008 - 2010)

Hall of Fame head coach Larry Brown came into Charlotte with the expectation that he could turn this organization around. Brown was able to lead the Bobcats to their first ever winning record and first ever playoff appearance during the 2009-10 season. Charlotte finished up the year 44-38 but were swept by the Orlando Magic in the first round. Brown's run in Charlotte would end in disappointment, as he stepped down the following season after the team got off to a miserable 9-19 start.

Ten years from now not one of these coaches could remain on the list, but when a team has only four head coaches in its history it's not hard to choose the top three and it is even easier when only one of them have carried the team to the playoffs. For his achievements with the Charlotte Bobcats, Larry Brown is the greatest head coach of All-Time for the Charlotte Bobcats.
