The Charlotte Hornets have recently obtained permission to interview a number of top assistant coaches for the head coaching position within the franchise. This development comes as Hornets coach Steve Clifford is set to transition into a front office role at the conclusion of the current season. The move allows the new executive vice president of basketball operations, Jeff Peterson, to initiate a search for a new head coach.
Among the assistant coaches the Hornets have received permission to interview are David Adelman from the Denver Nuggets, Jordi Fernandez from the Sacramento Kings, Charles Lee from the Boston Celtics, and Kevin Young from the Phoenix Suns. These individuals are considered to be top talents in the coaching realm and could potentially bring fresh perspectives and strategies to the Hornets organization.
Sources indicate that the Hornets are likely to seek permission to interview additional candidates in the near future. This signals the team's commitment to conducting a thorough and comprehensive search for the right individual to lead the team forward.
