We don’t know who the next Charlotte Hornets coach will be, but we sure know this:
That coach will be judged as much by what he accomplishes in August as what he does in April.
That was the adamant view of Hornets managing partner Curtis Polk, in a wide-ranging conversation with the Observer Tuesday. Polk is owner Michael Jordan’s eyes in Charlotte, for both the business and the basketball sides of Charlotte’s NBA franchise.
New general manager Mitch Kupchak hasn’t talked publicly in any detail about what he’s looking for in replacing fired coach Steve Clifford.
