Hires the worst coach in the history of the NBA (win loss %) !!! TIM FLOYD had 239 games as a coach in the NBA & won only 49 !!! Guys like EDDIE JORDAN & other black coaches can't get a job but this chump gets another chance !!! No i'm not predjudice but that is ....... well, just read my quote at the bottom & you know how i feel !!!

People don't wanna go there and coach, the owner is a pervert!

Spare me the drama... Red Auerbach couldn't have won with that Bulls team. Pullease...

They did stiff SIlas but, there are worse jobs in the NBA... Who would you rather coach... Hornets, Knicks, Hawks?

Rain = Gets it!!

pike, rain so how is he more elgible to coach charlotte than, silas or Bryons, assistant please take your time,

pike rain, i don't believe Cartwright is red Auerbach and he has done a much better job with that team than joe Shmoe ever did. i want the Right man for the Job, black or white i care less, the NBA wants the WHITE man for the job, right or wrong. It's just the way it is. 90 pct of the players are black, 90 pct of the owners are white. I'm not putting white people down don't take it personal, but it's so obvious. how many black coaches in the nba never played pro ball like Grunfield, Don nelsons son (who will be a coach soon) and the Warriors coach. John paxson is a GM for christ sakes. a YMCA player who should spit shine jordans sneakers. Yeah they are some Billy kings,

as soon as cartwright took over didn't they win 4 in a row, and they started winning as soon as that bum coach left.

you guys still didn't define why this man deserves this job. Any time you get a job you must define why you deserve it. becuase he got a raw deal, that doesn't define why he deserves this new job.

I understand the frustration... in alot of cases its justified. This said, That Chicago team needed a coaching change, any change...they were devoid of any Veteran presence. Cartwright being a recent ex-player and 7'0 tall could intimidate when he needed to without any Veteran to back him up. The players knew Floyd was a lame duck stuck with an offense he didn't want to run, with no vet players to support him in the Lockerroom. Sometimes change for the sake of change is the remedy. Silas did get a raw deal... time had run its course their.. now he's coaching Lebron. Byron, Doc, Silas, Cartwright, Chaney, Nate McMillan, now maybe Mike Jarvis (rumored in Wash.)... things are getting better. This stigma of a black coach is more crystallised in Football, a real problem... IMO.

Ares is showing signs of fatigue again(not enough sleep), don't mind him. Look we have Joe Dumars who has re-designed the Pistons and is trying to win a title from the front office now. Billy King at 37 at philly is the youngest GM in the league. Ex Denver Nugget WAYNE COOPER, Vice President of Basketball Operations of the Sacremento Queens, he oversees day to day business including all scouting and was responsible for finding Peja Stojakovic in 1996. He is the one who started the NBA's current influx of foreign players. Stu Jackson has went from coach, to Gm to Senior Vice president of Basketball operations in NBA. Isaiah Thomas went from player to Gm to coach all in the NBA. Ed Tapscott under EX B.E.T OWNER and NOW OWNER OF CHARLOTTE FRANCHISE is Executive Vice President will pick the new Gm and coach of that team. Also Doc Rivers one of the brightest head coaches in the game , future Gm in the league. Willis Reed Vice President of New Jersey Nets. Young Black coaches don't want go to a sucky teams like atlanta until they find out who the owner is because they will be on a shorter leash to succeed, they don't want to do what MARVIN LEWIS had to do going to the Bengals just to be the man. Basketball has guys on the move , now football that's another story!
