The Bobcats will interview Hall of Famer Jerry Sloan for their vacant head coach position on Friday, according to the Associated Press. After working 23 years with the Jazz, the 70-year-old Sloan abruptly left Utah's bench in the middle of the 2011 season, and hasn't coached since.
According to the report, Sloan is the ninth known candidate the Bobcats have reportedly shown interest in, and the team also plans to interview current Pacers assistant coach Brian Shaw.
The Bobcats finished the 2011-12 season with the worst winning percentage in NBA history, but have a 25 percent chance of winning the lottery, which is scheduled to take place next Wednesday.
