(AP) -— Paul Silas took over as the Charlotte Hornets’ coach Monday, pledging to try to revive a franchise beset by poor play, weak leadership and injuries. ‘‘Where this thing is going, who the heck knows? Hopefully miracles do happen,†Silas said after running a two-hour practice at the team’s training complex. Silas was named Charlotte’s interim coach one day after the res ignation of Dave Cowens, a close friend and former teammate with the Boston Celtics in the 1970s. Cowens, who led Charlotte to back-to-back 50-victory seasons in his first two years in Charlotte, stepped down because of mount ing frustration with owner George Shinn’s refusal to give him a raise. Cowens’ inability to work out a deal with Shinn was just one of several problems associated with a club that is off to a 4-11 start and has seen a significant drop in attendance. Some fans are calling on Shinn to sell the team if he continues to refuse to pay the money needed to retain top talent. Injuries have sidelined the team’s best two play- eq i n Aug the Sc Expre ers, and one of them, leading er Glen Rice, is the subject of talks with the Lakers. Considering those circ stances, Silas acknowledged, new job does not exactly look the chance of a lifetime. ‘‘But I’ve been throj tougher,†he said. “When coach the Clippers, it’s mi tougher.†Silas coached the Clipijonducte when they were located ir'bout th Diego from 1980-83.
