The Charlotte Hornets are currently the only NBA team without a head coach. Charlotte seems to have narrowed down their choices to Mike D’Antoni or Kenny Atkinson.
Neither D’Antoni nor Atkinson have met with Hornets owner Michael Jordan as of yet. Those meetings are expected to take place soon, when Jordan returns from a postseason vacation.
D’Antoni has been considered the frontrunner for the job. His offensive system is seen as being a great fit for Hornets star LaMelo Ball.
Atkinson is seen as someone who has had great success developing young talent into winners. There are some who think Atkinson may be too similar to former Charlotte coach James Borrego. That would work against Atkinson, as the Hornets are known to want to go in a different direction with their next coach.
