expansion of revenue sharing as labour talks continued Tuesday. Chuck Foreman Jersey . NHLPA executive
director Don Fehr says he cant make a counterproposal on the leagues full
package until his group receives and examines the requested team financial
reports. The first batch—76,000 pages—arrived late Monday night. The
meetings will continue Wednesday at the league offices in New York. More talks
are scheduled next week when Fehr returns from a meeting with NHL players in

contract lengths and a clause that would force them to wait longer before
becoming unrestricted free agents. Commissioner Gary Bettman says “ample time”

Patrick Ewing is one of several candidates the Charlotte Bobcats will interview
for their head coaching vacancy and the Hall of Fame centre will meet with team
officials next week, said people familiar with the situation. The people spoke
to The Associated Press Thursday on condition of anonymity because the team
hasnt publicly announced its list of candidates. Ewing is an assistant with
Orlando and a friend of Bobcats owner Michael Jordan. The Bobcats have
interviewed Golden State assistant coach Michael Malone and Bobcats assistant
Stephen Silas, son of former Charlotte coach Paul Silas, the people told the AP.
The Bobcats are also interested in Indiana assistant Brian Shaw, Cleveland
assistant Nate Tibbetts and St. Johns assistant Mike Dunlap. Its expected the
Bobcats will talk to several other candidates before making a decision.
Charlotte finished last season 7-59, the worst winning percentage in NBA history
(.106). Bobcats president of basketball operations Rod Higgins and general
manager Rich Cho are leading the coaching search and have been on the West coast
this week where they interviewed Malone. Malone interviewed for the Warriors
head coaching position last year but lost out to Mark Jackson. Despite not
getting the job, he was hired as an assistant coach on Jacksons staff and is one
of the highest paid assistants in the NBA at $750,000 per year. His father,
Brendan, has worked as the head coach of the Toronto Raptors. Higgins said after
the season the Bobcats planned to undergo an exhaustive search that would
include interviewing “quite a few” candidates for the job. Ewing is the most
recognizable name so far. A college star Georgetown, Ewing played for the New
York Knicks from 1985 through 2000. Hes worked extensively in developing Magic
centre Dwight Howard into an All-Star. “Its been mystifying to me that
assistants that dont have near the experience that Patrick has have been getting
jobs,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said Wednesday. Blair Walsh Jersey. “Hes ready. And I hope
this off-season will be his time.” Hell face plenty of competition. Among the
other Bobcats candidates, Stephen Silas worked alongside his father and even
stepped in as head coach for a handful of Bobcats games last season. Shaw worked
seven seasons an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Lakers and also spent time
in Cleveland. He interviewed for the Lakers job but management went with Mike
Brown. Most of Tibbetts coaching experience is in the NBA Developmental League.
He worked as the head coach of the Tulsa 66ers before going to the Cavaliers.
Dunlap has been with St. Johns since 2010 and filled in as head coach last
season while Steve Lavin recovered from cancer surgery. Previously he was an
assistant coach with the Denver Nuggets in 2006-08 and also has experience
coaching in college at Southern California, Arizona and Oregon. Its possible the
coaching search could stretch into June with some bigger profile candidates
waiting to see if the Bobcats land the No. 1 pick in the May 30 NBA lottery. The
Bobcats know the job may not be an easy sell after coming off a rough season.
But Cho said previously he wants to hire a candidate that is excited about the
challenge that lies ahead, not someone who looks at the job as an uphill battle.
“Those are the type of coaches we dont want to bring in,” Cho said. “I want
somebody that will relish the opportunity and look at it as a challenge. Its
really easy to go to a winning team and take that opportunity. But I want
somebody in here thats going to look at this as a great opportunity and a
challenge and a chance to build something from the ground up.” ’ ’ ’
