List of Charlotte Bobcats head coaches
The Charlotte Bobcats are an American professional basketball team based in Charlotte, North Carolina. They play in the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] The Bobcats began playing in 2004 as an expansion team, and have played their home games at the Time Warner Cable Arena, formerly known as the Charlotte Bobcats Arena, since 2005.[2] The Bobcats are the last team to enter the NBA,[3] and are the only team to have never advanced into the playoffs.[4] The Bobcats are owned by Michael Jordan, and Cornell Haynes, and Rod Higgins is their general manager.[5][6][7]
There have been four head coaches for the Bobcats franchise. The franchise's first head coach was Bernie Bickerstaff, who coached for three seasons. Bickerstaff is the franchise's all-time leader for the most regular season games coached (246), and the most regular season game wins (77); Sam Vincent, the franchise's second head coach, is the franchise's all-time leader for the highest winning percentage (.391). Vincent has spent his entire NBA coaching career with the Bobcats.[8] Larry Brown is the only Bobcats' coach to have been elected into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a coach.[9]
