The Charlotte Bobcats fired Sam Vincent today, after one 32-50 season as head coach of the team. The move was not unexpected. Sources say Vincent did not fare well in post-season reviews by some players, during end-of-the-season exit interviews with team management.

Bobcats managing partner Michael Jordan made the decision to relieve Vincent of his duties, and is expected to speak with media by conference call later today.

A source close to Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown told the Observer Friday that he'd be interested in the job, should Vincent be fired.
