The Charlotte Hornets got a pretty strong reaction for naming Steve Clifford the franchise’s new head coach a little over four years after relieving him of his duties. Reactions from outside the fan base have been pretty tame, but Hornets fans have generally received the news negatively. Today, Clifford and General Manager Mitch Kupchak sat down in front of the media for almost 30 minutes to talk about it.
The questions from the media were professional, but you could sense the confusion based on the phrasing of questions, and there were more than a few questions that could have made Clifford and Kupchak look foolish.
