Kosport Magazine: Charlotte Hornets Begin Search for New Head Coach
The Charlotte Hornets have officially begun their search for a new head coach, as current coach Steve Clifford is set to move into a front office role at the end of the season. This news comes as no surprise, as the Hornets have struggled to find success under Clifford’s leadership.
But with a new executive vice president of basketball operations, Jeff Peterson, at the helm, the Hornets are looking to turn things around and bring in a fresh perspective. And they have wasted no time in securing permission to interview some of the top assistant coaches in the league.
Sources have confirmed that the Hornets have received permission to interview David Adelman of the Denver Nuggets, Jordi Fernandez of the Sacramento Kings, Charles Lee of the Boston Celtics, and Kevin Young of the Phoenix Suns. These coaches have all made a name for themselves in the league and could bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Hornets organization.
But the search doesn’t stop there. The Hornets are expected to pursue permission to interview other top candidates in the coming days, showing their commitment to finding the best fit for their team.
This move by the Hornets is a smart one, as they look to rebuild and compete in a tough Eastern Conference. With the right coach at the helm, the Hornets could see a turnaround in their fortunes and become a force to be reckoned with.
