MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Terry Stotts was fired Wednesday as coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, who are struggling this season after injuries to key players.

An interim coach was not announced for Thursday night's against San Antonio, general manager Larry Harris said.

"Terry has done the best he could in a difficult situation, especially with all of our injuries," Harris said of his coach for less than two seasons. "I felt it was in the best interest of our organization to make the decision now and move forward, rather than wait until the end of the regular season."

The Bucks have dealt with a spate of injuries, including the loss of Michael Redd for 20 games as the team went 3-17 without him. The team is 23-41, last in the Central Division.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- The Charlotte Bobcats soon will hire a new coach, decide on a new role for Bernie Bickerstaff and likely make their first big moves in free agency.

The man making all these decisions will be Michael Jordan, perhaps the best basketball player of all time, but an executive with a spotty record on personnel moves

Owner Bob Johnson wouldn't have it any other way.

"We're waiting on him to outline who he wants to coach and then supervising that coach and making the decision on who he wants to draft," Johnson said. "All of those things are Michael's call, and I couldn't think of a better person to have that responsibility."

Johnson brought in Jordan as part owner last spring and gave him the final call on all basketball decisions, three years after Jordan was fired as president of basketball operations of the Washington Wizards.
