The Charlotte Hornets have finally decided on a Head Coach in Golden State assistant Kenny Atkinson.
49 days after firing James Borrego, NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski announced that the Hornets were hiring Atkinson to a four-year contract.
In Mitch Kupchak's last media availability he spoke about looking for a new voice and a guy who'll take Charlotte to the next step. "Someone that will bring us that next step,” Kupchak said. “I think with this team, under Coach Borrego’s coaching, we made improvements every year. And I don’t want us to get to the point where we stick somewhere too long and we don’t make that improvement that I think this team is ready to make.
