Vincent is out as coach of the Bobcats
Sam Vincent was fired by the Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday after one turmoil-filled season as coach.
Part-owner Michael Jordan, who has the final say on all basketball decisions, dismissed Vincent less than a year after he gambled by giving him his first NBA head coaching job. Struggling to find a consistent rotation and clashing with players, the inexperienced Vincent led the Bobcats to a 32-50 record in a season the fourth-year franchise felt confident would end with its first playoff berth.
Pistons forward Antonio McDyess returned to Detroit and had surgery to repair the broken nose he suffered in Game 3 of the Pistons’ playoff series with Philadelphia.

Pistons Coach Flip Saunders said McDyess’ availability for today’s Game 4 would depend on how he felt after surgery. McDyess was injured Friday in the third quarter of Detroit’s 95-75 loss to the 76ers.
