Bobcats assistant coach John-Blair Bickerstaff pleaded guilty to driving while impaired.

Bickerstaff, the son of Bobcats coach and GM Bernie Bickerstaff, was given a suspended sentence Wednesday in Mecklenburg District Court and ordered to complete 24 hours of community service for his July 19 arrest. He lost his driver's license for a year, but was given a restricted license for driving to work.
