Warriors assistant coach Kenny Atkinson has decided to remain with Golden State after being offered the Hornets head coach position, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Wojnarowski initially reported that Atkinson had agreed to a four-year contract to become Charlotte’s next head coach. The Athletic’s Shams Charania also added that Atkinson met with team Charlotte owner Michael Jordan and team personnel before deciding to accept the position last week.
However, after winning an NBA title with the Warriors this week, Atkinson has reportedly changed his mind after he decided “it would be best” to stay.
