Charlotte Sting an original WNBA franchise folded Wednesday The NBA's Charlotte Bobcats gave up control of the Sting to the 'WNBA last month after complaining of losing too much money on the franchise The league was unsuccessful in finding a buyer for the team The Sting was owned and operated by the Charlotte Hornets when the women's basketball league formed in 1997 The Sting stayed in Charlotte when the Hornets moved to New Orleans in 2002 and Bob Johnson took control of the team when he was awarded the Bobcats' expansion franchise in 2004 The Sting struggled to draw fans in recent years and its move to the downtown Charlotte Bobcats Arena last season didn't It averaged 5783 fans in 17 home games in 2006 which ranked 13th out of 14 teams in the league "It was driven by economics certainly not philosophy" said Greg Economou the Bobcats' chief marketing officer "We believe in the women's game If it could work here we'd be all for it The situation we're in is trying to build the Bobcats' brand It was difficult to absorb losing as much money as we were on the Sting side to continue" The franchise also struggled on the court The Sting reached the WNBA finals in 2001 but made the playoffs only once since and was 17-51 in the past two seasons Former Hornets star Muggsy Bogues coached the team for its final 112 seasons after Tmdi Lacey gave up the coaching duties to focus on her general manager role Losing the Sting leaves the WNBA set to begin its 1 lth season in May with 13 teams Players from the Sting including Monique Currie and Tangela Smith are expected to be awarded to other teams in a dispersal draft "It's sad to see them go" Economou said "They meant a lot to the people of the city but at the same token not enough people" BRIEFS Women's National Basketball
