Mike Dunlap Fired By the Charlotte Bobcats


In a somewhat surprising move, the Charlotte Bobcats announced today that first-year head coach Mike Dunlap has been let go. Per the press release: “Rich Cho and I conducted our season-ending review and met with Coach Dunlap to reflect on this season. As an organization, it was decided that we needed to make a change with the head coach position,’ President of Basketball Operations Rod Higgins said. ‘We want to thank Mike for his contribution and wish him the best in his future endeavors.’ Dunlap was hired as the fifth head coach in franchise history on June 20, 2012 and posted an overall record of 21-61.”
