According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports and The Vertical, ” Denver assistant Noel Gillespie is finalizing deal to become head coach of Charlotte’s new D-League affiliate in Greensboro.” The Swarm will have their inaugural season this year as the Hornets become yet another NBA team to have their own D-Legaue affiliate. The search for a head coach was lengthened by the death of Sean Rooks who was reportedly set to be the head coach.
This news comes just a few months before the Greensboro Swarm start their first season in the NBA Developmental League. The Hornets’ franchise announced this past season that they would be starting a D-Legaue team in 2016.
