Charlotte head coach/general manager Bernie Bickerstaff continues to waver on whether he will return to the bench for the 2006-2007 season.

"I would be wrong if I said I hadn't thought about it," Bickerstaff said. "There's been some thought that this could be the last game. But it's not that big an issue to me because it's not that important."

Bickerstaff said he'll make a final decision after the season when he's calmed down emotionally.

"I'm going to take my time and think about it," he said. "It's really not about me, I'm just a player in the band. What's best for the team, that's all I care about."
