Charlotte Bobcats

The Charlotte Bobcats finished last season with the NBA's worst record - 59 losses and just seven wins.  This year, the team has a new coach and several new players including #2 draft pick Michael Kidd-Gilchrest.     Team officials are hoping to make new inroads with fans and the community this season.  WFAE's Mark Rumsey spoke with Bobcats' President and Chief Operating Officer Fred Whitfield to learn more about the team's new "gameplan".

Mark Rumsey grew up in Kansas and got his first radio job at age 17 in the town of Abilene, where he announced easy-listening music played from vinyl record albums.
