Hornets Coaching Search

Kenny Atkinson stunned Hornets brass with his decision to return to the Golden State Warriors coaching staff rather than proceed with Charlotte on an agreed-in-principle four-year deal. Atkinson had called Hornets staffers and players in preparation for joining the franchise ahead of this week's draft, sources told B/R, and was in the advanced stages of assembling his own additions to the staff.

Contrary to internet speculation, Atkinson's decision suggests nothing about Steve Kerr's future with Golden State, sources said. There has been no word within the Warriors that Kerr's tenure will end any time soon.

But for any new head coach, the Hornets have been intent on retaining a large portion of the staff—many of whom have one full season of guaranteed salary remaining on their deals—from previous head coach James Borrego, sources said. Before Atkinson put pen to paper on his contract, he and the Hornets were unable to come to financial agreements for his new assistants, sources said. Charlotte is known to be among the league's bottom five teams in coaching staff salary.

Atkinson felt compelled to remain with Golden State, where he will slide up a seat on Kerr's bench following the departure of assistant coach Mike Brown to the Sacramento Kings and compete for another championship next season. Atkinson also will not have to uproot his family for the third straight season.

It's unclear where Charlotte will turn for its next head coach. Many league personnel have pointed to the team's other finalists for the position, Terry Stotts and Mike D'Antoni, as logical succession plans.

The Hornets can take their time. The Utah Jazz appear to be in no rush to expedite their own head coaching search. But no other Charlotte candidate besides Atkinson met with Hornets ownership and chairman Michael Jordan, sources said. Perhaps the Hornets will restart their process altogether.

@Cudderwalks

Y’all better drop the bag or I guess we’re getting him?

Wish it just stayed at this

Melo gonna have an mvp season

This still the official thread ?

Hornets fan vox?

Just trying to see the league be as talented as can be so it always sucks to see teams falling apart and this Bridges situation is particularly bad of course

I would assume so

Complete list since the Play-in loss last season:

Get blown out of 2022 Play-In game, Miles Bridges chucks his mouthpiece at a fan after his ejection, hits a different fan

Team fires James Borrego weeks after the season ends, having extended his contract for several years the previous offseason.

Montrezl Harrell gets arrested for felony d*** charges (later reduced to misdemeanor)

Team hires Kenny Atkinson after a near two-month search, just a week or so before the draft

Miles Bridges accidentally posts Instagram picture of him drinking lean. Deletes the picture and says "Pink Lemonade lol"

Kenny Atkinson pulls out after winning title with Golden State. Team scrambles to hire a new head coach on the fly after turning down Mike D'Antoni to sign Atkinson.

Team hastily hires former fired Hornets coach Steve Clifford again, on a deal with an out after just one year, instilling no confidence in the hire.

Team trades 13th pick for scraps after believing they had too many young players to develop. Scraps are a late 2023 1st, and 4 2nds, for a team that already has a lot of fringe talent to develop and not enough top end talent.

On the eve of his free agency, Miles Bridges gets arrested for beating his wife, wife posts Instagram pictures and medical documents detailing the damage he did and videos involving his kids who saw the incident.

Team, understandably in shock, proceeds to make no moves all season long instead of making moves to pick a direction to either rebuild or compete without Bridges.

2022 lotto pick James Bouknight injures hand right before summer league and loses entire offseason of development.

2022 2nd round pick Scottie Lewis breaks leg in summer league practice and misses offseason, and probably the upcoming season. Wasn't under contract, but still... jesus

Miles Bridges' court dates get pushed back all offseason long, with no clarity on the situation in sight.

Hornets go into training camp with Mason Plumlee, Mark Williams, Nick Richards, and Kai Jones as its centers. Steve Clifford preeminently locks Plumlee in as the starter, despite a horrific 2021-22 season, 1st round picks invested in Williams and Jones, and a need for rim protection.

Hornets go into training camp without a backup ball handler, leaving the offense to die without a ball handler to get the young backups the ball in positions to score.

Hornets go 0-5 in the preseason.

LaMelo Ball sprains an ankle in preseason, causing him to miss regular season action

James Bouknight arrested for DUI.
