Charlotte (AFP) - Charlotte Hornets coach Steve Clifford, who guided the best November run in the NBA club's history, was rewarded Wednesday with a contract extension.
The 54-year-old American, whose deal is reportedly for three years to 2019 with a team option for a fourth season, has the Hornets at 10-7 to start this season, including a 10-5 November run.
"We like what Coach Clifford and his staff have been doing," Hornets general manager Rich Cho said in a statement. "He has done a really good job over the last two years. We want some continuity and we are excited to have him locked down to an extension.
