You know Phil isn't going to Charlotte, MJ knows it, so why bother. Phil makes good teams great teams. What Charlotte needs is someone cheap who can develop young players into a good team so a good coach can take the reigns.
I read a quote from someone, it might have been Scott Stiles, but they basically said some coaches are paid to develop and some are paid to win and unless you get lucky like Spoelstra, Rivers and possibly Brooks, developing coaches will never win. They also went on to say they were told upon hiring that they weren't there to win games, just to develop rookies.
I don't know if every front officr views the coaching position like this, but it would explain a lot.
