The Charlotte Hornets are compiling their list and apparently checking it twice.
Nearly two weeks after cutting ties with James Borrego, the Hornets’ coaching search is underway and several names are emerging as potential candidates. Among them are Mike D’Antoni, Kenny Atkinson and Darvin Ham, league sources confirmed to The Charlotte Observer. Sean Sweeney is also reportedly on the Hornets’ radar and will get a look.
D’Antoni served as a consultant for Brooklyn this season, assisting first-time coach Steve Nash. D’Antoni, who turns 71 on Sunday, is offensive-minded and has compiled a 672-527 record in 16 seasons, including a 381-214 mark at his last stop with the Rockets.
