The Charlotte Hornets have enjoyed their recent success under head coach, Steve Clifford, after many seasons of multiple coaching changes. The team had five different coaches since returning to Charlotte in 2004. Once they found a great coach in Clifford, they made sure to lock him up for years to come.
A lot of the team’s success in recent years can be attributed to their free agent signings, draft picks, and trade acquisitions but their coaching staff must not be overlooked. A lot of onus is put on head coaches but with successful teams, the assistant coaches are just as important.
