Just over a month after announcing Mitch Kupchak as the organization’s next President of Basketball Operations and General Manager, the Charlotte Hornets now have a new head coach in place with the addition of former San Antonio Spurs assistant, James Borrego.
A graduate from the University of San Diego, the 40-year-old Borrego was an assistant at his alma mater for two years before joining the San Antonio Spurs as a video coordinator in 2003. He rose up the ranks under Gregg Popovich and spent seven seasons with the team, winning a pair of NBA Championships in 2005 and 2007.
