The Hornets’ G League affiliate coach is returning. Why that matters for Charlotte

Jordan Surenkamp is going to spend plenty of time in the Piedmont again, and he couldn’t be more enthused about it.

Surenkamp is returning for a second season as the head coach of the Greensboro Swarm, which is the Charlotte Hornets’ G League affiliate. The expected move was officially announced Tuesday, mere weeks after Surenkamp completed a stint as the head coach of the Hornets’ summer league team in Las Vegas last month.

The Hornets utilize Greensboro as a teaching ground of sorts, where the likes of Kai Jones, James Bouknight and JT Thor were shuffled back and forth in their rookie years for extra seasoning.
