CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- It was a little more than two years ago that Paul Silas was fighting for his life. Now he's about to become permanent coach of the Charlotte Bobcats.
Happy with the job he's done as interim coach, Bobcats owner Michael Jordan has opened discussions with Silas on a one-year extension that would keep him on the job at least through the 2011-12 season.
"We are in discussions," general manager Rod Higgins said Tuesday night. "Nothing has been finalized."
Higgins added the Bobcats are pleased with how Silas inherited a team that went 9-19 under Larry Brown and turned them into playoff contenders in the Eastern Conference.
The Bobcats are 15-13 under Silas following Tuesday night's 106-94 loss in Chicago and enter the All-Star break 1 1/2 games behind Indiana for the final playoff spot in the East.
