Last week, it looked like the Charlotte Hornets had found their next head coach in Golden State Warriors' assistant Kenny Atkinson, but one week and an NBA championship later, Atkinson has had a change of heart and informed the team over the weekend that he was not going to take the position.
On Monday's Time out for Sports, The Charlotte Observer’s Langston Wertz, Jr. told WFAE’s Sarah Delia that the Hornets and owner Michael Jordon will refocus their search on two previous candidates and a surprise addition.
"Well, sources say there were two other finalists besides Atkins and there was Mike D'Antoni," Wertz said.
