There was plenty of excitement when the Charlotte Hornets announced Charles Lee as the new head coach last year. A survey on Hornets fans conducted by James Plowright of the Buzz Beat podcast sometime before the 2024 training camp showed that many of them were confident in the rookie coach. However, the optimism doesn't appear to be that high anymore.
In this year's edition of the survey, 42.5 percent of the respondents answered the highest possible rating (5) when asked how confident they were in Lee. This time around, only 14 percent selected that option, and there was a seven-percent increase in fans who voted 2 or lower.
