CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Michael Jordan is getting closer to hiring his next NBA coach.
The Jordan-owned Hornets are narrowing their search after interviewing several candidates, people familiar with the situation said Friday.
The people said the list of coaches who have interviewed include Celtics assistant Jay Larranaga, Raptors assistant Nick Nurse, Spurs assistants James Borrego, Ettore Messina, Ime Udoka and Blazers assistant David Vanterpol. Former Grizzlies coach David Fizdale also interviewed but has since been hired by the Knicks.
The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Hornets haven’t discussed the coaching search.
