Karl Endorses Dunlap As Bobcats Coach

George Karl praised the Bobcats for hiring Mike Dunlap.

“To hire a guy of knowledge and character and service more than spin and perception is something that makes me feel great,” Karl said. “The basketball gods kind of rewarded the right stuff.”

Karl described Dunlap, who worked as an assistant in Denver from 2006-09, as “probably the most intelligent guy I ever talk to about the game of basketball.”

“Mike provides insight that I’ve never had anybody deliver,” Karl said. “When you talk to him off the court, he could be Socrates. On the court, he’s an intense, competitive SOB.”
