One of the big reasons why the Charlotte Hornets coveted Charles Lee as a head coaching candidate in 2024 is because he won an NBA championship as an assistant for both the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics. He is following a similar philosophy regarding the latest addition to his staff. Former Villanova and Fordham head coach Kyle Neptune, who won two national titles with the Wildcats while serving under Jay Wright from 2013-21, has agreed to become the Hornets' newest assistant, per ESPN's Shams Charania.
Neptune stepped into an unenviable position as the successor to a Nova legend in Wright and produced middling results.
