Steve Clifford’s staff is complete, and it includes a bevy of familiar names.
Clifford, the Charlotte Hornets’ new coach, has tabbed Tyrone Corbin, Bob Beyer, Rex Walters, Bruce Kruetzer and Brian O’Connor to be a part of his second stint with the organization, league sources told The Charlotte Observer on Tuesday. Clifford also retained Jay Hernandez, Nick Friedman, Norman Richardson and Marlon Garnett, per sources.
Corbin, 59, will serve as Clifford’s lead assistant coach, sitting next to him on the bench. The Columbia, S.C. native was on Clifford’s staff in Orlando from 2018-21. He offers up a combined 16 years of experience as an assistant and head coach.
